十多年前,我还是学生的时候、去桂林写生,与一荷花塘不期而遇。正午,在阳光直射下,荷叶迎风摇曳,动态各异,似朝天嘻嘻哈哈;夜晚,则是沉寂的荷塘月色,纯净如处子。莲婀娜多姿,仪态万方,然“出淤泥而不染”之名句却使它陡然变得深刻而庄重。 在接受创作周敦颐塑像的任务时,我首先想到他所著《爱莲说》中的这一名句。周敦颐是宋代的大思想家、文学家、教育家。他为官三十多年,职位虽不高,却刚正廉洁,是封建社会极少见的清官。黄庭坚称其“人品甚高,胸怀洒落,如光霁月。廉于取名,而锐于术志,薄于徼福,而厚于得民”,“连之出淤泥而不染” More than a decade ago, when I was a student, I went to Guilin to sketch and meet with a lotus pond.
