Cover of 讀古文撞到鄉民:走跳江湖欲練神功的國學秘笈
by 祁立峰
Language: Chinese
Release Date: December 30, 2016

**孔子壯遊團 VS. 莊子我夢到 小農文青陶淵明VS.都更覺青杜甫 宋詞溫拿 VS. 元曲魯蛇 嘴砲戰神大亂鬥,我的國文課業障重啊! 從古籍穿越網路,點評歷代聖賢,句句宅氣干雲,字字酸民本色! 一本沒有最狂只有更狂的文化基本教材! 網路熱門專欄【祁立峰讀古文撞到鄉民】結集,鄉民讀者瘋狂轉貼點閱 臥斧、徐國能、廖玉蕙、謝金魚鼎力推薦** 熱門陸劇「瑯琊榜」解析者祁立峰, 在《讀古文撞到鄉民:走跳江湖欲練神功的國學秘笈》中, 談古論今、夾議夾敘,剖析義理、縱論世間眾生百態, 以網路鄉民的嘲諷嘻笑方式, 通過每一章的書寫把古往今來的人事物通通抓來評比, 將現實與理想、古人與今人、典籍與網路的愛恨情仇, 表現出盡付淋漓的悲傷與同情! 古典時期看似遙遠,但是古人們的機鋒與嘴砲,一點也不遜於今日的網路鄉民。 我們所遭遇的困境,歷代鄉民可能早已經歷過一輪了。 他們或抵抗或妥協,歷史上有過萬人響應的壯舉,也有過無人到場的噤聲。 而我們的文明也正因如此,終於成了如今的模樣。 坊間有不少推廣古典文學的著作,但《讀古文撞到鄉民》不僅是概論的介紹。有教學的體會,有研究的心得,有近年學術界的成果,也有近年來面對時代與議題的回應。 《讀古文撞到鄉民》共分成四輯,從先秦兩漢思想家,漢魏六朝的詩人或筆記,一路談到唐詩宋詞元曲。尤其精采的是作者近年來面對小時代大議題的回應。 ‧在這被鄉民悲摧戲稱的「鬼島」,讀者經歷了學運、後太陽花、覺醒青年們虎虎洶洶。世代、階級、勞資、地域,各種身分認同交混而對立,天河撩亂、光影散射。 ‧書中談到了儒家對死刑存廢的看法,談江南士族面對北方強國的心態與認同,或杜甫身經喪亂後對居住正義的辯證。當代網路鄉民喜歡戰男女或戰南北,發文酸訕冷峭,但這不是鬼島鄉民特有的習性或身世。千百年來的詩人墨客早已面對過這些問題,而他們的這些作品,摒除了中學課本裡文謅謅的教材教法,那可能才是真正的、應該放進括弧裡的「經典」。 縱觀文學史流變,作者祁立峰認為可能需要一些無聊無謂的人,認真地去寫那些看似無意義的廢文廢詩,因為雖然看似無意義,也可能真的毫無意義。然而總有一天,這些無意義將成為所有象徵的象徵。 ※...

Myth and Meaning for Today

by Michael Horan
