2月3日上午,65岁的王永昌先生早早地等候在杭州赛丽美术馆。这里即将举办一场“时代商魂”诗书画展。
那天,杭州的大雪正加速消融。在暖阳之下,冰棱融化的水珠沿着屋檐一滴滴地下落,坠在地上,腾出一个个漂亮的泡泡。第二天,即是二十四节气中的“立春”,大地开始复苏,已经隐隐有芳草的清香钻出泥土。
40年前,中国改革开放拉开大幕,犹如冰雪消融的大地春草勃发,一个商人群体——浙商,由此开启一段新的征程。40年来,他们书写了时代的光荣与梦想,成为这一段历史进程中最绚丽的一道风景。
浙商是改革开放中涌现出来的杰出企业代表,被称为东方的犹太人,1000万浙商分布在全球各地,形成了一道靓丽的商业风景。改革开放伊始,草根浙商艰苦创业,不畏艰难,穿行于世界各地。阿里巴巴集团董事局主席马云、吉利控股集团董事长李书福、娃哈哈集团董事长宗庆后等一大批浙商中的佼佼者,已經具备了全球性的影响力,他们创造出了独特的中国商业文化。浙商也因此成为浙江最为宝贵的财富。
“时代商魂”诗书画展是纪念中国改革开放40周年活动的一部分,以王永昌先生近年创作的讴歌浙商的现代诗作为蓝本,由一大批全国知名书画家创作的约150幅书画作品组成,试图展现几代浙商不平凡的历程。哲学博士王永昌是浙江大学教授、浙江省文史馆馆长、浙商发展研究院院长。近年来,他潜心研究浙商文化,成果颇丰。
一入展厅,我们仿佛在诗歌的荡漾里,回望过去;仿佛在书法的线条里,寻找初心;仿佛在绘画的意境中,激荡岁月;仿佛在雕塑的肌理里,发现生命的力量。
“这是一个很特别的展览。”著名油画家潘鸿海创作了油画《柿子红了》以及一幅书法作品参展。他说,诗书画展,既有诗,又有歌;既有书法,又有绘画;既有金石,又有雕刻。而它们所阐述的同一主题则是浙商。美术界与商界就这样无缝地黏合在了一起。以这种形式来描绘浙商在全国还是首次。

时代是一块大幕,诗歌是辽阔心灵的捕手,书画是性情世界的猎人。我们观察时代最好的方式,莫过于透过艺术作品所沉淀的时代细节。
本次展览王永昌策划长达一年之久,而其诗歌创作的历程犹如怀胎生子。近年来,王永昌追寻浙商的轨迹,行走在大江南北,在塞北的孤烟里创作了《大漠行(组诗)》,记录了浙商企业在那片疆土上的跋涉。其中,《“风光”,大漠传奇》一诗中,他把笔墨聚焦在了一家中国民营企业500强——盾安集团:我们感恩自然造化/更为绿色能源欢歌/数沙洲“风光”几何/还看今日盾安“大漠”/还有它的“久和”。这些诗作,把浙商创新创业与大时代做了生动的连接。
诺贝尔文学奖获得者莫言为诗书画展寄题“诗梦彩云”四字相赠。在王永昌的诗歌中,有时激情四溢,有时在盆景的世界远离喧嚣。这世界在他的笔下千变万化。但无论如何演绎,终是他在《远行》诗中所写的那样:“有家的路,才是可以丈量的远航。你选择了遥远的远方,就选择了乡愁,是你的行囊。”“走出去”的浙商,在五湖四海打拼的企业家,感怀的何尝不是这番滋味?
诗书画本是同源,少了谁都不成。诗没有画的般配,就少了视觉的冲撞;画少了诗的想象,就失了深邃味道,显得苍白。绘画艺术的高度,需要诗歌的浪漫性来强化和传递。当你站在瀑布前,看见水流奔腾而下,只不过一个“壮观”的感慨,但应了李白的“飞流直下三千尺,疑是银河落九天”,顿感人生豪迈。
“时代商魂”诗书画展,以浙商精神为魂,诗言志、书写意、画会神,以商魂、远行、看景、情缘、乡愁等五大板块铺陈,像历史的老唱机,再现浙商丰富的内心世界,这些是改革开放史诗中华彩壮丽的篇章。

这一天,高朋满座。王永昌先生内心或许第一次如此强烈地感受到那种来自于历史深处拉响的飞向新时代急驰的声音。时钟一分一秒地过去,一帧帧浙商的创业图像扑面而来。
“我不曾想到,在我筹备这一展览的时候,会得到这么多艺术家的支持。”王永昌先生显得有些激动,“浙商是有灵魂的,浙商是中国经济的脊梁,他们值得被讴歌。我的诗是小学的水平,但是这些创作的艺术家都是大家。”他自谦地说道。
王永昌深知,一个群体的物质财富积累到一定程度后,就会在文化上寻求提升。浙商身上优秀的精神品质折射出了一种文化现象。一个商人群体有了文化自信,才可以行稳致远。十余年间,王永昌潜心研究浙商,从哲学角度到产业角度;从实业观察到金融解剖;从演讲浙商精神到创作浙商诗歌,以不同的维度展示浙商文化,他的创作不断开拓新的境界。他的长篇诗作《飞翔吧,浙商》是对浙商高度浓缩的礼赞。
王永昌回忆说,这首诗作在《浙商》杂志主办的浙商投融资大会上,由几位电台主持人现场朗诵后,获得了空前的好评。此后,各类浙商的活动上,《飞翔吧,浙商》被当成了主题曲。一位浙商在《浙商》杂志官方微信的相关报道中留言:“这一诗作很鼓劲,我做生意失落时,每次一听都能重燃创业激情。”
在这首长诗中,读者可以轻易地感受到王永昌对浙商炽热的情感。他时而发现,浙商从山间田野走来的质朴;时而发现,浙商在创新路上探索的痛苦经历;时而发现,浙商走向世界的无畏。今天,约有1000万浙商遍布全球,他们的营商轨迹如全部记录还原的话,就会像灿烂的星河一样璀璨,他们用“滴水穿石改写了时空的变量”,他们以“豪情讲述奋进的追梦理想”(此两句引自《飞翔吧,浙商》)。
“《飞翔吧,浙商》创作非常艰难,修改了20遍以上,在一个月的创作历程中,我的感受是痛并快乐着。”王永昌说。作为学者,王永昌素以严谨整饬著称,他曾在《王永昌博士演讲录》的前言中表示,“我一直以来有个习惯,就是做事太过认真。这是优点,也是缺点。所以,我每每参加浙商的活动,即使场面上致个几分钟的词,事先也要认真准备,反复思考,或形成腹稿,或形成文字提纲,总想讲点自认为有些内涵、有些新意、有些启迪的话,觉得老讲些大话、空话、套话,实在是浪费时间,对不起人家,也对不住自己的良知。”他是这样珍视自己,以至于,他的创作总被自己的“良知”纠缠,总是被不满足的痛苦所打扰。他的著作《历史的博弈》《走在山坡上的中国》《走向人的世界》都是严谨治学的结果。
因此,他会不断地问身边的人、问那些企业家,与他们谈天、与他们交流。我身边的不少同事也曾被王永昌先生询问上述诗歌词句贴切与否?他并不以长者自居,而总是不耻下问。正因为这样,他这首《飞翔吧,浙商》在朴实中显出温婉,在华丽中透出激昂,拥有“跨越崎岖山岗”的雄壮魅力,拥有“挺起民族的脊梁”的担当力量,并拥有“胸怀世界苍穹”的家国情怀的穿透力。在无数人的朗诵中,他们为浙商的困顿而焦急,又在浙商无所畏惧的突围中深感振奋。
王永昌先生与作曲家朱培华合作,以《飞翔吧,浙商》为底本,创作了《浙商之歌》,已被无数的浙商传唱,被无数的艺术家汲取创作的养分之后,王永昌先生颇为欣慰:“我的动力来自于外部,我的创作发动机来自于浙商。”
在这百余幅艺术作品中,据此诗创作的,有书法大家王冬龄的“波涛是海鸥的乡音/风雨是雄鹰的翅膀/超越是强者的乐章/搏击时代风云/方显浙商生命坚强/胸怀世界苍穹/终令浙商天高地广”、金鉴才的“勤劳致富走出新路宽广/滴水穿石改写时空变量”、韩天衡的“万物在雨露里生长/鲜花在阳光下绽放”;白一的《百和图》、罗小珊的《鸡毛换糖》、骆恒光的《忆当年》、林剑丹的《飞翔吧,浙商》等。这些艺术作品,从不同的维度,把诗人对浙商的热爱之情传递给观者。
优秀的艺术作品,無论诗歌散文还是书法绘画,总是以其散发的浓郁的时代特征征服人,以其强烈的人文情怀感动人。“当我看到王永昌先生创作的浙商之歌,我感受到了40年来一个民族的艰难历程,感受到了改革开放的伟大。”鲍贤伦看完了“时代商魂”诗书画展后评论道。
画家冯运榆表现创作了丝绸之路上艰苦创业浙商的作品《古道》。他说:“浙商们的精神代表着改革开放后,创新发展取得巨大成就的民族精神,而王永昌的诗没有曲折与隐晦,而是坦白、高亢,把浙商精神都表现出来了。”
杜高杰站在自己创作的油画《雪山》之前,若有所思,他的这一作品取意来自于王永昌先生《寂静的喧嚣》中的诗句。他说,“这个新时代,我们需要高扬诗书画艺术。因为,这是记录时代最好的方式。”
每一个人都会寻找自己的方式致敬伟大的时代,而王永昌先生已经找到,这是他的幸运,也是浙商的幸运。

The 65-year-old Wang Yongchang came to Zhejiang Saili Art Gallery early on the morning of February 3, 2018. It was a big day for the scholar poet.
