柳宗元“追诏回都”考

Investigation of Liu Zongyuan's Back Trip to the Capital after Receiving the Imperial Edict

元和十年正月,柳宗元接到朝廷命其返京的诏命,迫不及待离开永州,沿途写了不少诗作。但是,诏命什么时候到达永州?沿途到底有多少诗?又以怎样的形式体现他当时的心态?都还有待厘清真相。是为三考:1.返京诏命到达时间考;2.诏追赴都诗歌考;3.体现沿途心态的四种形式考。

In lunar January, Yuanhe 10th year, Liu Zongyuan left Yongzhou county immediately after he received the imperial edict which ordered him to return to the capital. On his way back to the capital, he wrote many poems. However, when did the edict arrive in Yongzhou？ How many poems were written along his back trip？ And what forms were used to reflect his mind state at the time？ All these are left to be clarified. Thus the three investigations： 1. the arriving time of the edict; 2. the poems written along his back trip; 3. the four poem forms reflecting his mind states.
