    像凤凰一样不安分

    像凤凰一样不安分

    凤凰亭,城中

     

    从艮山福居的寓所步行到报社,能够穿过东河上的凤凰亭。

    凤凰亭建是在桥上的。在《梦粱录》里,只有桥没有亭:“艮山门东曰顺应桥,旧名坝子桥。”据说桥始建于宋,而亭始建于清,仿佛这桥是一名女子,她宋时出生,到清时长成,这亭便是她的乳房。对于她而言,时光是虚设的。

    我匪夷般的想象在灵隐高僧那里获得了印证。相传,清康熙年间,有灵隐高僧在亭落成后为之题亭额曰“香乳”,故亭也有“香乳亭”这一不为我等闲人所知的别称。恐怕是世人不具备如我这般的意淫能力,只好嫌僧人的“香乳”二字过于唐突,便编制了有凤鸟来栖的情节,顺理成章地将之篡改为“凤凰亭”。

    清代诗人姚思勤也觉察到了凤凰之名来得唐突,便在他的《东河棹歌》中发了一些牢骚:“鹭鸶滩上鹭鸶飞,鸭舍桥边放鸭归。侬在凤凰亭畔住,从来不见凤凰飞。”

    香乳亭终于还是成了凤凰亭。然而,解不了何为“香乳”的世人,自然也不解凤凰亭为何屡毁屡建的原由。他们并不知道命名的威力:既然是凤凰,便有飞去来兮的作息和涅磬重生的习性。其中一次比较著名的涅磬,发生在清咸丰八年(西元1858年)三月十八日,人们在慌乱之余,又胡乱下了“无故自焚”的断言。
