林占梅(1821-1868)，是清領時期北臺灣的著名詩人。身為道咸時期新竹地區臺灣文壇領袖之一的林占梅，從不掩飾對白居易(772-846)的景仰之情。透過林占梅的園林詩，可知林占梅構築潛園的背後，是有意仿效白居易履道園的園林精神，從中反映出對白居易閒適精神與中隱之道的認同。也是基於這份認同，使得最能代表林占梅詩歌成就的園林詩，屢見白居易閒適詩的影子。林占梅的園林詩，並不在字句上學習白居易的詩句，但卻追摹白居易詩歌的閒適與中隱，藉以呈顯自己的自得與適趣。林占梅透過園林詩，傳達了對白居易中隱之道的追求，更展示對閒適美學的認同。本文重新探討林占梅園林詩對白居易閒適詩的接受，期能暸解林占梅園林書寫隱含的生命價值追尋，開啟閱讀林占梅園林詩的一個新視野。
