沈祖棻先生的历史小说《辩才禅师》以古代民间流传已久的传奇故事《兰亭》的失落为原型,创新地讲述了永欣寺住持辩才禅师丢失王羲之《兰亭》真迹的故事。沈先生通过细腻的语言描写赋予了其中人物、事件以新的面貌与性格,使辩才禅师脱离了出家人的外壳而充满了文人气质,自然而然地,这个故事也就具有了独特的象征意义和审美价值。 Mr. Shen Zujian’s historical novels, “The Master of Etiquette,” argues that the loss of Wang Xizhi’s “Lanting” authentic master Jackson Yongxin Temple abbot is the prototype of Lanting, the long lost legend of the ancient folk. Through delicate linguistic description, Mr. Shen conferred on him characters and events with new appearances and dispositions, which enabled the eloquence Zen master to leave the monarch’s shell full of literati. Naturally, this story also has unique symbolic meanings and aesthetic values .
