乾隆八年（1743年），浙派名公杭世骏因“内满外汉”触怒乾隆帝被贬，得到乾隆帝恩宠的诗坛领袖沈德潜作诗相赠。将沈德潜赠杭世骏二诗与同时期江浙文人赠诗对读，可看出其用典指向与思想观念的内在一致性，即均同情杭世骏而对清朝官方的文化政策有隐微不满。这与沈德潜早年结交遗民、晚年因编纂《国朝诗别裁集》及著《徐述夔传》遭遇乾隆帝清算等事件具有内在一致性。可见，作为“台阁文人”的典型代表，沈德潜的个性化表述和“变音”倾向仍有甚多可发微之处。研判这一问题有助于从更丰富的角度理解沈德潜的诗学理念和诗学品质，厘清对沈氏的刻板认知。稍晚，沈德潜弟子王昶对此事的引述，和当时文人的类似创作、言论，足以证明乾嘉时期文人普遍存在疏离心态，台阁诗人亦多隐含不满情绪，此为这一时期士人心态和文学思想的一大特色。

In the eighth year of the Qianlong era (1743), Hang Shijun (1696-1772), a famous poet of the Zhejiang School, was demoted because of his disagreement with Emperor Qianlong about the “Inner Manchu and Outer Han” policy, in which the Manchu were given preferential treatment, while the Han were excluded. Shen Deqian (1673-1769), the leader of the poetry circle who was favored by Emperor Qianlong, wrote poems and presented them to Hang Shijun. By comparing Shen Deqian’s two poems with those by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang scholars in the same period, this study identifies the internal consistency in their sympathy towards Hang Shijun and the latent discontent with the official cultural policy of the Qing dynasty. This discontent was also related to Shen Deqian’s early friendship with the adherents of the former dynasty, and his later punishment by Emperor Qianlong for compiling the collection of poems of the Qing dynasty and the biography of Xu Shukui. Findings in this study imply that, as a representative of “Tai-ge School literati”, Shen Deqian’s individualized expression and his pursuit of “different tune” are still not well understood. Investigations of this topic broadens current understanding of Shen Deqian’s literal thoughts, and clarifies his stereotyped public image. The subsequent quotation of Shen Deqian’s student Wang Chang (1725-1806) and similar literary creation and speech of the time also support that there was general aloofness among the literati in the Qianlon-Jiaqing era. Most of the Tai-ge poets were simmered with discontent, which featured the mentality and literary thought of the literati in this period.
