《闲情偶寄》可以看成是李渔一生艺术感受和生活感受的总汇。”“这是一部三百年多前中国社会休闲生活情趣大全。余秋雨说:李渔的一生,或贫或富,或卑或傲,或显或沉,或清或污,后人对他也褒贬不一,我们需要做的,就是取其精华。
"Xian Qing Ou Ji" can be regarded as a confluence of Li Yu's life experience of art and life. "This is a complete collection of leisure interests in Chinese society more than three hundred years ago." Yu Qiuyu said: Li Yu's life is either poor or rich, humble or arrogant, apparent or sinking, or clear or dirty, and future generations also praise him differently. What we need to do is to cream off the best and filter out the impurities.
蕈
举至鲜至美之物,于笋之外,其惟蕈乎!
蕈之为物也,无根无蒂,忽然而生,盖山川草木之气,结而成形者也,然有形而无体。
凡物有体者必有渣滓,既无渣滓,是无体也。
无体之物,犹未离乎气也。
食此物者,犹吸山川草木之气,未有无益于人者也。
其有毒而能杀人者,《本草》云以蛇虫行之故。
予曰:不然。蕈大几何,蛇虫能行其上?况又极弱极脆而不能载乎?
盖地之下有蛇虫,蕈生其上,适为毒气所钟,故能害人。
毒气所钟者能害人,则为清虚之气所钟者,其能益人可知矣。
世人辨之原有法,苟非有毒,食之最宜。
此物素食固佳,伴以少许荤食尤佳,盖蕈之清香有限,而汁之鲜味无穷。
莼
陆之蕈,水之莼,皆清虚妙物也。
予尝以二物作羹,和以蟹之黄,鱼之肋,名曰“四美羹”。
座客食而甘之,曰:“今而后,无下箸处矣!”
