舍彼其谁?——论蔡琰名下五言《悲愤诗》兼向宇文教授所安请益

Who Else Could It Be?—Cai Yan and Five-Word Poem Poem of Grief Attributed to Her An Consultation with Professor Owen

在三千年的中国文学史上,蔡琰及其名下的诗歌长期寂寞无闻,直到二十世纪中才受到学者热烈的讨论。经过一个甲子的论争,许多海内外学者已认同五言《悲愤诗》为蔡琰所作。值得注意的是美国汉学家宇文所安教授的著作中对蔡琰的作者身份仍有质疑。本文试就此向宇文教授请益,并从母题及韵脚方面再次分析五言《悲愤诗》借以探索其作者身份。

In 3000 years＇ Chinese literature history, Cai Yan and the poems attributed to her have been ig- nored for a long time. Not until the middle 20th century did they arouse heated discussion among scholars. Sixty years later, many scholars at home and abroad have accepted Cai Yah is the author of Poem of Grief, while Amer- ican sinologist Stephen Owen still questions her authorship. To further explore the issues concerning Cai Yan＇ s authorship, the author consults Professor Owen and analyzes the motif and rhyme of Poem of Grief.
