地域·政治·审美:唐宋文人的荔枝书写

Region,Politicsand Aesthetics: the Description about Litchi by Tang and Song Literati

荔枝作为南方亚热带水果,偏居一隅,其进入中国文学需要一定的因缘际会。荔枝书写中心由唐代的巴蜀转移到宋代的闽地。作为贡品的荔枝因与杨贵妃的关联而受到唐宋文人的极大关注,这种关联创始于杜甫,定型于晚唐。荔枝在审美形象上经历了由异果到珍果,最终升华为仙果的文学构建。

As the southern subtropical fruit, litchi requires a chance to enter the Chinese literature. By reading the three hundred literary works of Tang and Song literati about litchi, there are several phenomena de-serves our attention. Firstly, the center of litchi writing shifts from the Bashu land of Tang Dynasty to Min land of Song Dynasty. Secondly, as a tribute, litchi is associated with Lady Yang , and this association draws great attention from Tang and Song literati. This association is founded by DU Fu, and stereotyped in the late Tang. Thirdly, the aesthetic image of litchi is changed from exotic fruit to precious fruit, and finally to be a fairy fruit. Although it is just a tiny fruit, it is closely related with the regional attribution, it deserves us to study the building of this literary topic, the changing of literary aesthetic image and so on.
