摘要
《牡丹亭》第二十一出《谒遇》中有“香山嶴襄巴”句,“香山嶴”这个地名首见於第六出《怅眺》。徐朔方先生在其《牡丹串》校注本中先後将“香山嶴”注释为“今广东省中山县境内”、“今广东省澳门”;“香山嶴襄巴”的“巴”字则注释为“寺庙”,并以澳门建有三巴寺(圣保罗教堂)为旁证。本文认为,“香山嶴”在历史上并非澳门专称;“香山嶴裹巴”的“巴”是“长住”之意。以目前所得到的证据,还无法确证《牡丹亭》中包含了澳门情节,也无法确证汤显祖到过澳门。
The Peony Pavilion(牡丹亭) is a play written by Tang Xianzu in the Ming Dynasty.In the Scene 21 "The Interview"(謁遇)of the play,we can read the line of verse:"Xiangshanao li ba"(香山嶴裏巴).Prof.Xu Shuofang gives his explanation of this line in his revision of The Peony Pavilion as below:"Xiangshanao"(香山嶴) is "Macao of Guangdong Province" and "ba"(巴) is "one kind of temple" since residents of Macao call San Paolo Church "Da Shan Ba"("大三巴").This paper argues that in modern times Macao did not belong to the Guangdong Province,in fact,it was administrated by Portuguese government before the handover and is directly under the power of the Central People’s Government after the handover;the actual meaning of "ba"(巴) is "long stay" in stead of "temple".According to the evidence historians have found,we can not confirm that The Peony Pavilion includes any plot about Macao and that Tang Xianzu had ever been to Macao.
