谢氏《赠王肃信》辨析

Analysis of Xieshi's Zeng Wang Su Xin

记载谢氏与王肃爱情典故的最早文献是北魏杨衒之的《洛阳伽蓝记》,该书记载了一首谢氏赠与王肃的五言诗和公主代答诗一首,未曾提及谢氏是否有书信致王肃。谢无量先生的《中国妇女文学史》,全文抄录了被认为是谢氏赠予王肃的骈文书信一封。该信文笔优美,宛转动人,堪称书信体文章中的佳作。但遗憾的是,笔者通过研读文本并考察相关史实,认为该信并非出自谢氏之手,而是后世好事者所代笔。

Yang Xuanzhi＇s Luo Yang Qie Lan Ji is the earliest book which recorded Xie Shi and Wang Su＇s love allusion. The book recorded two cource poems, one is Xie Shi＇s presentation, and the other is the princess＇ reply. It has no word if Xie Shi has written to Wang Su, Xie Wuliang copied the full text of the letter in Chinese Women＇s Literary History, and the letter is full of so beautiful words and sincere feelings that it rated as a masterpiece. But it is regrettable that all my studies certify that the letter is not the handwriting of Xie Shi but somebody else.
