罗含《湘中记》考——《水经注》征引文献研究之一

A research of the Records of Middle Areas of Xiangiang River

罗含《湘中记》是东晋地记的早期代表作,尤其以山水描写见长,为中国山水散文的形成作出了重要的贡献。《湘中记》是罗含在晋穆帝永和、升平年间任宜都太守时所作,大约于南宋末亡佚。该书现有陈运溶《麓山精舍丛书》、王仁俊《玉函山房辑佚书补编》、《说郛》宛委山堂本等辑本,但上述各辑本仍有遗漏和不足。补辑辨正《湘中记》佚文,也是《湘中记》研究的重要方面。

The Records of Middle Areas of Xiangjiang River was a geographic book written by Luo Han in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.Characterized by landscape description,this work produced great influence on the rising of Chinese landscape writing.Unfortunately,the original book was lost in about the last period of the Southern Song Dynasty.As the copies of this book are not complete,a further complementary edition is still necessary and important for the research of this work.
