國家歷史評論
我喜欢乱成一团的大街
--評 張擇端 清明上河圖
濮林
绘画因记录平常生活而亲切。自在随意的街头巷尾,溜达与劳作,热闹与看热闹无处不在......这是我们很喜欢的状态,因为这时我们高兴、忘记而倍感安全--谁不喜欢菜市场般热闹而乱成一团的格局呢?趙佶(1082-1135)一定是很喜欢的,因为他没有让大内禁军来规矩都城的河岸通衢,草民想如何摆摊就如何,除了內城禁地,哪里都行。对于生活,效率又有什么意义呢?马路无时不畅通又有什么意义呢?城市整洁空洞得只剩路壁清风又有什么意义呢?......
然而城市里空虚的人还是越来越多,他们忘学无术侃侃而谈口是心非地疑神疑鬼,他们无法理解生活、命运与活着的真谛,他们让一些无望的人驱逐大部分同样无望的人。城市变得越来越宏大的整洁、越来越科学的做作、越来越匆忙而无爱与尊严的荒漠......空虚的人注定是要失去很多的,他们只是不知道宏大的场面下结局的到来也会快如疾风。因为他们不知道大多数人很喜欢喧闹的大街,其实,无望的大多数终其一生也只有大街好去,我也一样,其实我哪里都不想去,我只想去大街与乞讨的人、挑着担子四处吆喝的菜贩子还有神秘严肃地兜售诸如《清明上河图》元、明、清珍贵临摹原版的文物贩子们一道傻乐和时而莫明的设想与期待。可是他们非要把大街整得一尘不染华彩烁烁除非好车否则不予停留。
