论《封禅方说》与汉武帝之关系

On Relation of Feng Shan Fang Shuo and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

《封禅方说》原书已佚,无法详考该书与汉武帝的关系。现存《史记·孝武本纪》几乎与《史记·封禅书》完全相同。根据《史记·封禅书》、《汉书》、《风俗通义》等相关记载,可大略推测汉武帝不得不封禅是《封禅方说》的成书背景,汉武帝时期的方士之风加速了《封禅方说》的形成,以公孙卿为代表的方士群体创作了《封禅方说》。汉武帝晚年对求仙态度的转变是《封禅方说》一书散佚的重要原因。

The book Feng Shan Fang Shuo has been lost. So it is difficult to discriminate the relation between Feng Shah Fang Shuo and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The existing Chronicles of Xiaowu is exactly the same as the Sacrificial Ceremonies. According to the Sacrificial Ceremonies in Shi Ji, Hart Shu and Feng Su Tong Yi, we can roughly in- fer that the background of its producing is Emperor Wu＇ s sacrificial ceremonies. The atmosphere of Han alchemists speeds up its formation. The group of Han alchemists including Gong Sunqing creates the Feng Shah Fang Shuo. Maybe the change of Emperor Wu＇ s later life is an important reason for the loss of the book.
