次辯才韻詩帖 蘇軾
台灣
蘇軾五十五歲時所書。凡二十行，一百八十八字。辯才禪師為宋代（960～1279）高僧，與當時文人多有交遊。此卷即蘇軾對辯才詩作的次韻和詩之作，其中「此生暫寄寓，常恐名實浮。我比陶令愧，師為遠公優」之句，即答覆了辯才原詩「願公歸廊廟，用為天下憂」的勸勉之意，也顯示了兩人交誼之深厚。
蘇軾字子瞻，號東坡居士。北宋（960～1127）文學家、書畫家。眉州眉山（今四川眉山）人。工詩詞，擅書畫。其詩作常涉及佛法，主張禪淨兼修。此帖是蘇軾晚年書作，距寫成《寒食詩帖》、《前赤壁賦》等千古名作已有六、七年之久。較之前期書作，章法較無變化，但在字體泰半偏大的狀況下，行間彼此互不干擾，便見書家對章法的掌控力。筆畫雖仍豐厚，但以去婀娜多態的樣貌，結字用筆較見骨力，是此卷的特色與殊勝之處。
參考釋文：辯才老師退居龍井不復／出入軾往見之常出至風篁／嶺左右驚曰遠公復過虎／辯才笑曰杜子美不云乎與／子成二老來往亦風流因作／亭嶺上名之曰過溪亦曰二
