袁燮（1144－1224），字和叔，號絜齋，南宋慶元府鄞縣人。治象山心學，一生以學問德性自期，以家國百姓為念，嘗曰：「闡斯道之奧，發是心之良，而輔成國家之風教者，其惟學乎！」晚年退居園林，撰有〈是亦樓記〉、〈願豐樓記〉、〈是亦園記〉、〈秀野園記〉、〈直清亭記〉與〈隱求堂記〉等作品。清代全祖望評袁氏之園嘗曰：「從來文章，家所敘次園榭之勝，不過流連光景，張皇其位置之工，未有以儒林之法言入之者。」可知對袁燮而言，園林的意義並非耳目近玩，而在學問心志的寄託。然其所託為何？本文擬從隱逸觀、園林觀以及體物觀三個角度切入，梳理袁燮的園林書寫，觀看他如何藉隱居以求志達道，如何在園林中實踐顏樂；又如何以問學為核心，賦予園林以舞雩風樂的理想。
