湘水女神与汉水女神考略

Research on the Godness of Xiang River and the Godness of Han River

湘水女神、汉水女神本不是一路神仙。包括楚辞在内的相关文学创作,用典精妙,当不存异议。然而,有当代学者认为屈原在《离骚》、《九歌》中改汉水女神为湘夫人,近来又有学者撰文认同此说。对此,笔者不敢苟同。湘水女神出处较清楚,汉水女神有待进一步考证。而真正把两路神仙拉到一起的是曹植的《洛神赋,》而不是屈原的《九歌》。

The Godness of Xiang River and the Godness of Han River are not the same. This is proved in many literary works including Chu Ci. However, some scholars now proposed that QuYuan changed the Godness of Xiang River with the Godness of Han River and was supported by some others. The auther of this paper has a different opinion.The origin of the Godness of Xiang River is clear now while that of the Godness of Han River is awaiting to be proved. In fact, it was Cao Zhi who mixed them up in his Luo Shen Fu, not Qu Yuan in his Jiu Ge.
