美人何处(新版) (安意如古典美学三境界)

Rate this book
《美人何处》探寻的是中国古代的“人之美”。《美人何处》里描摹的都是“她们的故事”,那些或真实或虚拟的美丽女子的故事。中间自然也有自清词丽句化出的故事,比如“一宵冷雨葬名花”的陈圆圆,也有的人物干脆就是文学中的,“请带我去天涯海角”的红拂、“关不住的爱情”的杜丽娘等等,甚至安意如自己构想了小说情节卷四“别事”,但全书的祈向却不仅是文学的了:“我将女子的肉身分作几个部分,细细描画,由手至足,由眼至唇”,而更着力的是“女子的情商,她们自身的资质、优势或局限,因何成功,失败又从何而来”。一句话,安意如想展示中国古代美女的外貌和心智之美,“借光阴为红线,在若隐若现的记忆中寻觅她们”。虽然也涉及到,但她没有过多去关注“红颜悲剧”的老旧话题,也“不多谈男女间的恩怨、痴情”,她更想透过这些“曾真实存在,如今却杳如神话”的红颜,“帮助我们看清自己,辨清一些事情”。这么说来,《美人何处》突出、发展了《陌上花开》已然开始的对过往历史中人物遭际及优美人格的表现,不过有意更集中在美女们的身上而已。至于不同,如果《陌上花开》稍多对于种种“情爱”的感喟,则《美人何处》更多理性的观照,勾画出那些女性在有时自己都无法把握的情

At first, I like the words she used. But latter, it turns out to be just beautiful words without any meaning. The first a few chapters are interesting to me, but the last two chapters are definitely not. It seems like it just write for the reason that the book is long enough for publish.
