鄭用錫（1788-1858），清代臺灣重量級詩人，其人其詩影響北臺文學發展甚深。過去評價鄭用錫的詩歌特色，大抵不脫「體近擊壤」與「宋詩風格」，然而就現存的稿本來看，鄭用錫沒有提及自己師法何人，包括宋儒邵雍與《擊壤集》，也沒有主動表明自己宗法宋詩。本文從兩面向重探鄭用錫詩歌特色：一是重新梳理「體近擊壤」與「宋詩特色」的評價歷程，說明何以未曾師法邵雍的鄭用錫，卻與邵雍《擊壤集》緊緊相連。二是從鄭用錫眼中的典範詩人陶淵明出發，重新瞭解鄭用錫作詩與賞詩的標準何在，以凸顯其詩歌中透顯的自然與真趣。過去論及鄭用錫詩歌，多集中在第一個面向，而忽略第二個面向，故本文重探鄭用錫詩歌特色，期能豁顯鄭用錫詩歌在「體近擊壤」與「宋詩風格」的既定評價外，還有自然、平淡、真趣的特質，而這或許是更貼近詩人本身的審美追求。

Zheng Yongxi (1788-1858) was the first Taiwanese Jing Shi, who promoted horticulture literature in Bei-guo Garden at his old age. Works about Zheng Yongxi’s poetry almost draw the same conclusion that it is the Song poetry style, and the Song Scholars’ Ji Rang faction. The assumption comes from the influence of “Bei-guo Garden Literature,” which was the only published edition available before 2008. Having thought to be the original work of Zheng Yongxi, this edition was in effect revised by Fu Jen poet Yang Jun. New materials were not found until 1997 by Professor Huang Meier. Despite the new edition “Bei-guo Garden manuscript” finally published in 2008, “Bei-guo Garden’s Literature” still has much influence on the Zheng Yongxi poetry studies. This paper aims to examine the two editions, re-reading the poetry and style of Zheng Yongxi.
