何紹基 (1799-1873)

款識：
結念屬霄漢，懷袌觀古今。
滌侯節相年大人招飲，緣行轅雅榭落成禮，有美奐美輪之頌詩，有爰居爰處之詞，欲效張老之善頌善禱，亦誰曰不宜。時坐客有莫子偲、汪梅邨、李申夫、歐陽小岑、李梅生諸君子，皆為一時彬彬雅雅。有以聯吟作賀以誌其盛，或撰楹為紀念之文，或吟咏數闋以為唱和之韻，或臨池染翰以美亭屋之名，額匾齊書。余寫楹聯數，偶以備張掛几側壁間，雖未敢云與鼎鼐增輝，聊為異日之誌，亦未為不可。時同治甲子季冬書。道州蝯叟何紹基。

鈐印：「何紹基印」、「子貞」。

註：本幅乃何子貞為曾國藩行轅落成而書。
同治三年（1864）七月，曾氏以兩江總督協辦大學士之職，節制四省軍
務，合圍天京，城破，他因功獲加封一等侯爵，故上款稱曰「滌侯節
相」。同年，何紹基主講長沙城南書院，十月收課後作金陵之遊，聯中
所提及「莫子偲、汪梅邨、李申夫、歐陽小岑、李梅生」，皆其好友，
他暱稱曰「寒酸舊交」，是時均在金陵之書局參與刻王船山遺書一事，
故同出席曾國藩行轅落成之禮，並賦詩作書為贈，以誌其盛。
何子貞在其〈東洲草堂詩鈔．附金陵雜述〉四十絶句中，即詠及此次金
陵之遊，從中可對照撰寫本聯之背景也。
