昨日，收到浙江大学胡华丁教授和浙江财经大学黄学规教授的文集《品读胡华丁》、《品读黄学规》。两位教授都已耄耋之年，他们在半个多世纪的峥嵘岁月里，相互鼓励，互为品读，相携而行，传为佳话。

Yesterday, I received the anthologies Reading Hu Huading and Reading Huang Xuegui, compiled by Professor Hu Huading of Zhejiang University and Professor Huang Xuegui of Zhejiang University of Finance & Economics respectively. Both professors are in their octogenarian years. Over more than half a century of extraordinary years, they have encouraged each other, mutually appreciated one another, and walked side by side, a story widely praised as a heartwarming tale of friendship.

这两本姊妹文集，珠联璧合，记录过去大半个世纪，他们共同经历的生命历程，学术业绩，人生趣阅和感悟。倾谈率真，感情诚挚，正如文集书封座右铭所启示:“盘点人生——感恩，风雨，成就。”

These two companion volumes, perfectly matched, record their shared life journey, academic achievements, life anecdotes, and insights over the past decades. The writing is candid and sincere, just as the motto on the book covers reveals: "Reflecting on Life — Gratitude, Trials, Accomplishments."

当代着名诗人邵燕祥曾写过一首诗，说“一个人是一本书”，可以把一个人当作书来读;又说“一本书是一个人”。在每本书后面隐着一位作者，即使你从未谋面，但你不论何时何地打开一本书，都可以听到那作者或浅吟低唱，或侃侃而谈，或如泣如泪，或疾言厉色，或促膝谈心。“我的朋友/你终于开口/款款地把幽思陈说/灯火也眨着眼睛/一边听一边思索/且让我暖了搁冷的酒/凭窗斟给你喝/夜雨不停话不断/孤独，不是生活。”(邵燕祥)

The renowned contemporary poet Shao Yanxiang once wrote a poem stating that "a person is a book," for one may read a person as one reads a book; and also that "a book is a person." Behind every book lies an author. Even if you have never met them, whenever and wherever you open a book, you can hear the author whispering softly, talking eloquently, weeping sorrowfully, speaking sternly, or conversing intimately. My friend / At last you speak / Tenderly pouring forth your hidden thoughts / The lamp blinks its eyes / Listening and pondering / Let me warm the wine grown cold / And pour it for you by the window / Night rain falls unceasingly, talk flows on / Loneliness is not life.

— Shao Yanxiang

“人知结交易，交友诚独难。”(叁国·阮籍)两位教授，相识相知，由同事同仁到知音，他们的精神生活堪称丰富，深邃，共同酷爱阅读、思考，文史哲造诣深厚。着述甚丰，诗书画成绩骄人，荣誉甚多。

"One knows the trouble of making friends; true friendship is indeed hard to find." (Ruan Ji, Three Kingdoms Period) The two professors, acquainted and mutually understanding, evolved from colleagues to bosom friends. Their spiritual lives are rich and profound; both share a profound love for reading and thinking, with deep attainments in literature, history, and philosophy. They have written prolifically, achieved remarkable success in poetry, calligraphy, and painting, and earned numerous honors.

胡华丁，籍贯浙江兰溪。曾主编《浙江统战理论文选》和合编《中国革命史教程》等着作20部，出版《华丁文集(叁卷)》、《京剧名伶宋宝罗》、《黄逸宾山水画研究》、《解读方集理》、《解读沈文华》等专着23部。发表科研论文和时事杂文400多篇。画事师学黄宾虹先生，师从黄逸宾先生，画风浑厚华滋，得黄派山水神髓。《柳溪泛舟图》山水画，在首届海峡两岸书画名家精品大展中获金奖。1996年，曾被中国美术家协会、韩国书画艺术家协会等33家单位授予“当代书画艺术家”称号。其山水国画作品远传美国、日本、韩国、西班牙等国和港澳及台湾等地，列名于《世界名人录》等198种词典。

Hu Huading, a native of Lanxi, Zhejiang, has edited 20 works including Selected Readings on Zhejiang United Front Theory and co-authored A Course in the History of the Chinese Revolution. He has published 23 monographs such as Collected Works of Huading (3 Volumes), Famous Peking Opera Performer Song Baoluo, A Study of Huang Yibin's Landscape Paintings, Interpreting Fang Jili, and Interpreting Shen Wenhua. He has published more than 400 academic papers and current affairs essays.

In painting, he studied under Huang Binhong and later learned from Huang Yibin. His painting style is vigorous, profound, and lush, capturing the essence of the Huang school of landscape painting. His landscape painting Boating on the Willow Stream won a gold medal at the First Cross-Strait Fine Arts Exhibition of Renowned Calligraphers and Painters. In 1996, he was awarded the title of "Contemporary Calligrapher and Painter" by 33 organizations including the China Artists Association and the Korean Calligraphers and Painters Association.

黄学规，籍贯浙江温州。着有《挫折与人生》、《人格与人生》、《审美与人生》人生心理修养叁部曲和《雨燕斋吟稿(叁卷)》。中国民族文化研究会诗书画艺术委员会终生名誉主席、全国师德先进个人、浙江省高等学校教学名师、中国艺术院院士。曾荣获“中华诗词特殊贡献奖”、“李白杯成就一代大家”、“杜甫杯诗圣奖金奖”、“爱国杰出诗人”、“铸魂金杯奖”、“中国翰墨传承人物”、“瑞典皇家艺术学院荣誉博士”等荣誉称号，被诗界誉名为“民族诗人”。他的诗词书法获香港回归20周年诗书画创作大赛金奖，《七绝·塞罕坝》、《七绝·驼铃》等诗词书法曾在“一带一路”和法国、纽约国际邀请展参展并收藏。

He holds the lifelong honorary chairmanship of the Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting Art Committee of the Chinese National Culture Research Society, and is a National Advanced Individual in Teacher Ethics, a Famous Teacher of Higher Education in Zhejiang Province, and an academician of the China Art Academy.

Works such as the quatrains Saihanba and Camel Bells have been exhibited and collected at the Belt and Road Initiative exhibitions as well as international invitation exhibitions in France and New York.

毋庸置疑，他们不仅是着名的教授，而且都是用两支笔(作家诗人与书画家)相融相通去描绘世界的大家。

Undoubtedly, they are not only distinguished professors but also great masters who portray the world through two complementary identities: as writers and poets, and as calligraphers and painters.

人生常恨知音稀。知音，这是不分远近，不计功利，无惧曲折，胸襟坦荡，高山流水，心有灵犀的遇合。两位教授虽为同辈知已，但在书中记述的多则是师长，或谊在学兄好友之间，亲人之间。更重要的是，凡读此书而识其人，以至心会，惟知音者倾听。

Life often laments the scarcity of bosom friends. A soulmate is a rare encounter that transcends distance, disregards utilitarian gains, defies twists and turns, embraces openness and integrity, and resonates spiritually like the legendary melody of High Mountain and Flowing Water. Though peers and confidants, the books mostly recount their relationships with mentors, fellow scholars, friends, and relatives. More importantly, anyone who reads these books will come to know the authors and attain spiritual understanding—for only a soulmate truly listens.

“始知君子心，交久道益彰。”(唐·孟郊)文集在《后记》中写道，他们之间的友谊，从纵向看，经历55年，可谓世纪之交。一是风雨同舟合作，在杭州大学曾为同事，风华正茂，艰辛创事业。二是勤奋教书育人，在各自学术领域甚至煺休后，发表论文、出版专着及创作书画甚丰，颇有建树。叁是友谊历久弥新，一路坦诚品读，成为学界美谈。

"Only then do I know a gentleman's heart; friendship grows deeper with time, virtue shines brighter." (Meng Jiao, Tang Dynasty) As written in the postscripts of the anthologies, their friendship has spanned 55 years, a bond across the turn of the century. First, they stood together through trials and collaborated side by side as young colleagues at Hangzhou University, striving arduously to build their careers. Second, they dedicated themselves to teaching and educating others, publishing prolifically in their respective academic fields and creating abundant works of calligraphy and painting even after retirement, achieving remarkable accomplishments. Third, their friendship has grown stronger with time, marked by sincere mutual appreciation throughout the years, becoming a much-told story in academic circles.

“却顾所来径，苍苍横翠微。”(唐·李白)两本文集，相得益彰，收录了各自文章，诗词，评论，信函，篆刻，书法，国画，图片，媒体新闻报道，书讯，友人题词和点评以及他们在爱妻告别会上的悼词等等，在每本二十多万字的容量里，涵盖了他们人生的沧桑冷暖，毕生的拼搏与璀璨。

"Looking back on the path I have traveled, green mountains stretch endlessly in the twilight." (Li Bai, Tang Dynasty) The two anthologies complement each other perfectly, collecting essays, poems, critiques, letters, seal carvings, calligraphy, traditional Chinese paintings, photographs, media reports, book news, inscriptions and comments from friends, as well as eulogies delivered at the memorial services for their late wives. Each volume, with over 200,000 words, encapsulates the vicissitudes of their lives, a lifetime of striving, and their brilliant achievements.

“品读”，还开辟了作为比较文学学科一部分的跨学科研究的路向，笔者特别感到文学与历史，文学与绘画，文学与书法，文学与媒体，文学与自然科学的跨学科研究为文学研究开辟了极其广阔的领域。正如北京大学着名教授乐黛云所言，就拿文学与自然科学的关系来说，从热力学第二定律所引出来的耗散结构和熵的观念，就已逐渐渗透到社会科学和文学研究的领域之中。

The act of "Reading" also opens a path for interdisciplinary research as part of comparative literature. The author particularly notes that interdisciplinary studies linking literature with history, painting, calligraphy, media, and natural sciences have opened an extremely broad realm for literary research. As Professor Yue Daiyun of Peking University observed, taking the relationship between literature and natural sciences as an example, concepts of dissipative structure and entropy derived from the second law of thermodynamics have gradually permeated the fields of social sciences and literary studies.

“忘年尔我重交情，论事相同见老成。”(明·谢榛)笔者与两位教授均是忘年之交，笔墨往来十余载。每当他们出版新着，都第一时间寄赠我阅读和分享喜悦，我也欣笔为之写下读后感十余篇并予公开发表。

"Despite the difference in years, we cherish our friendship; our views align, revealing our mature judgment." (Xie Zhen, Ming Dynasty) The author has been a friend across generations with both professors, exchanging literary works for more than a decade. Whenever they published a new book, they would send a copy to me at the first opportunity to share their joy, and I have gladly written more than ten book reviews published publicly in response.

“品读”分别收入拙着《走进华丁内心——“华丁文集(叁卷)”读后》，《思想执着的力量——“华丁诗词评论集”读后》，《宾翁门下，笔墨情深——评述胡华丁与黄逸宾、王伯敏艺坛佳事》，《追求卓越——“胡华丁艺术稿丛”读后感》，《浑厚华滋——胡华丁山水画赏析》，《怀着自信从容而吟——读黄学规“雨燕斋吟稿第一卷”》，《甘守清心自在情——读黄学规“雨燕斋吟稿第二卷”》，《笔墨当随时代——读黄学规“雨燕斋吟稿第叁卷”》，《飘风忽举，鸷鸟乍飞——读黄学规书法》，《书即心画，墨有绿色——赏析黄学规的诗与书法》等等。笔墨相得，直抒胸臆。

The two Reading anthologies include my articles such as Into Huading's Inner World — Reflections on Collected Works of Huading (3 Volumes), The Power of Unyielding Thought — Reflections on Huading's Collection of Poetic Criticism, Under the Guidance of Master Huang, Deep Affection in Brush and Ink — On the Fine Artistic Friendship Between Hu Huading, Huang Yibin, and Wang Bomin, Pursuing Excellence — Reflections on Hu Huading's Art Manuscripts, Vigorous and Lush — An Appreciation of Hu Huading's Landscape Paintings, Chanting with Confidence and Composure — Reading Volume One of Huang Xuegui's Poems from Yuyan Studio, Abiding Purely in a Peaceful Heart — Reading Volume Two of Huang Xuegui's Poems from Yuyan Studio, Brush and Ink Keeping Pace with the Times — Reading Volume Three of Huang Xuegui's Poems from Yuyan Studio, Like a Sudden Gust of Wind, a Ferocious Bird Taking Flight — Reading Huang Xuegui's Calligraphy, and Calligraphy as the Mirror of the Heart, Ink Bearing Verdant Meaning — An Appreciation of Huang Xuegui's Poetry and Calligraphy. These writings flow naturally, expressing heartfelt thoughts directly.

“书者，舒也，舒布其言……条畅以任气，优柔以怿怀。”(南朝梁·刘勰)两位教授，十余年间陆续给笔者写寄书信几十封之多，亲切细腻的字里行间绽放父辈的睿智，闪烁理性的思绪。

"Writing is the expression of one's thoughts, laying out one's words... flowing smoothly to convey one's spirit, gentle and tranquil to delight the heart." (Liu Xie, Southern Dynasties) Over a decade, the two professors have sent the author dozens of letters, whose warm and delicate lines brim with the wisdom of elders and shine with rational thought.

“死生容易事，所痛为知音。”(清·方以智)两本文集，均在书封折页上记载了他们已去世爱人的留影，以慰藉孤寂。《窗思》“漫漫天际觅音容/为尔归家备浆琼/星月同照两栖地/天上人间心域通。”(胡华丁)《知音》“人海茫茫何处觅/千帆过尽遇知音/叁生有幸同甘苦/携手白头一世珍。”(黄学规)两位作者深情地缅怀与妻子相濡以沬，心心相印的难忘岁月。

"Life and death are trivial matters; what grieves me is the loss of a soulmate." (Fang Yizhi, Qing Dynasty) Both anthologies feature photographs of their late wives on the inside flaps of the book covers, in solace for their loneliness.

Window Thoughts

Searching the vast horizon for your face and voice

Preparing fine wine for your homecoming

Stars and moon shine upon two worlds apart

Hearts connect across heaven and earth.

— Hu Huading

Bosom Friend

In the vast sea of people, where to seek?

After a thousand sails have passed, I meet my soulmate.

Fortunate to share joys and sorrows through three lives,

Hand in hand till white hair, cherished for a lifetime.

— Huang Xuegui

The two authors affectionately cherish the unforgettable years of mutual support and spiritual resonance with their wives.

书中收录了爱情诗词，漫漫人生，厚厚恩情，早已融入彼此的生命里。此刻，耳畔萦绕邵燕祥的诗，便是他们的心声，“在满天的繁星中间/我寻找着你/我凝视着你/你知道吗?/歌声流过像日光和月光/流过我的心/你的明眸/它曾触亮我忧愁中的欢乐/让它融化你欢乐中的忧愁/恩情还没报答/爱也还没爱够/在大地，就一起自由地奔走/在天空，就一起歌唱着飞翔。”

Love poems collected in the books reveal that profound affection has long been woven into the very fabric of their lives. At this moment, Shao Yanxiang's poem lingers in the air, voicing their innermost feelings:

Among the stars filling the sky

I search for you

I gaze at you

Do you know?

Songs flow like sunlight and moonlight

Through my heart, your bright eyes

Once lit joy within my sorrows

Let it melt the sorrows in your joys

Kindness remains unrepayed

Love is still unfulfilled

On earth, let us walk freely together

In the sky, let us soar singing side by side.

在我读过的评述文集中，使我能像这样掩卷仍然沉浸其中，长久不能去怀的，便是此独特的双《品读》。人之相知，贵相知心。没有感情就没有文学。作品的真实性离不开感情的真挚性，这是文集的启示所在。

Among the many critical anthologies I have read, these unique twin volumes of Reading are the ones that leave me deeply immersed long after closing the books, unable to shake off their profound impact. Between people, the most precious thing is understanding each other's hearts. Without emotion, there is no literature. The authenticity of a work is inseparable from the sincerity of its emotion—this is the enlightenment of these anthologies.

古人言，“知音其难哉。”两位教授相交甚笃，袖底清风，胸中明月，人间真情，如此澄澈的知音，这也是文集展现的魅力。

As an ancient saying goes: "Bosom friends are indeed rare." The profound friendship between the two professors, with pure integrity in their sleeves and bright ideals in their hearts, and the genuine human affection they share—such pure and sincere soulmates—are also the enduring charm embodied in these volumes.
