《华山畿》故事发生地考辨

Research on the location of "Hua Shan Ji"

《华山畿》南朝乐府民歌是历来为人们所称颂的至爱至悲的千古绝唱,然而,关于其故事的发生地问题,迄今众说纷纭。或曰"镇江新区华山";或曰"高淳华山";或曰"句容华山"。其实,依据《乐府诗集》、镇江地方志及有关实地考察等情况作全面辨析,可以断定:《华山畿》故事的发生地即在当今镇江市新区石桥乡华山村。

＂Hua Shan Ji＂ is a love story included in folk songs in the South Dynasty. However, the correct location of the story has been under heated discussion till now. Some hold that it happened in the new district, Hua Shan of Zhenjiang; some argue that the correct setting was in Hua Shan, Gaochun or in Jurong. In fact, based on the ＂Yue Fu Shi Ji＂ and local chronicles of Zhenjiang, it can be concluded that the birthplace of the legend took place in Hua Shan village in Shi Qiao of the new district in Zhenjiang.
