再辨《鸟鸣涧》中的“桂花”意象

A Further Explanation of the Images of Guihua in Birds Singing in the Valley

王维诗《鸟鸣涧》中的"桂花"究竟为何物,历来说法不一。许多研究者认为,此乃虚写之物,而有的却将其解释为"月华",更有甚者认为"桂"乃"林"字之误,"桂花"应为"林花"。从相关史料和王维诗歌创作的风格来看,此处的"桂花"应指现实中的"春桂"。

The ideas about what gui hua in WANG Wei＇ s poem Birds Singing in the Valley really is have been various for a long time . A group of people who study this argue that it is just imaginary. While some explain it as yuehua, i. e. the moonlight. And there even exists people who make a point that gui is miswritten; it should be lin;guihua is actually lin hua. Accounting to related historical materials and the poetic writing style of WANG Wei, guihua here refers to chun gui in reality.
