共濟會之旅 (1999-2002)
共濟會之旅──無規矩不能成方圓?(1999/12)
沒想胡適先生的日記中有段記載( 民國元年(1911)12月2日): 「夜往訪L. E. Patterson之家,夜深始歸。是夜偶談及Freemason(吾國譯「規矩會」)之原委始末。」 胡先生大概不是該會會員吧?我對該會在中國的傳播有興趣,可惜一無所知。我最早聽到此一名詞,也許是莫札特為其會員,在歌劇中或有揭露吧! 查梁實秋的《遠東英漢辭典》,Freemason此字為「共濟會或美生會(一國際性的秘密互助團體)」。 原義為中世紀時歐洲的石匠之秘密組織。Freemasonary為"共濟會之主張、制度、會員",引申義為「同病相憐」。(請參考本網站,”雜談《品質史》’中有關 Guild 的簡介。) 有興趣的朋友,可以讀一本圖文並茂的書:Freemasonry:A Journey through Ritual and Symbol by W. Krik MacNulty , Thames and Hudson(1991)。書中有上古至中古,再到日本的會堂,以及各種相關資訊,它們只有看了圖才能了解的;古時他們的會員也有精神上超越之道:先入學為徒,再做到 Fellow Craft,到升為Master Mason。就像從點到線、面而成為實體,是新柏拉圖式的四正道。 近讀貢布里希的訪談錄《藝術與科學》,知道他父親因為曾經加入共濟會而被納粹盤問;他以為藝術與文化沒有很大的關係,這點常被誇大。
「原文: "We agreed that no one who had not grown up in a little prairie town could know anything about it. It was a kind of freemansonary, we said. "
湯譯:"我倆一致認為只有在草原小鎮上長大的人,才能知道其中的奧秘,我們說它正像是一種自然間的友情。」
