“八景”历史文化现象与欧阳玄“芜湖八景”律诗

Historical and Cultural Phenomenon of ″Eight Sights″ and Ouyang Xuan's Poetry about ″Wuhu Eight Sights″

中国的"八景",后来成为约定俗成的景点集成,是地方风景的代表,一般认为始于北宋,不失为一种有地方特色的历史文化现象在各地延绵不绝。元欧阳玄曾任芜湖尹(即知县),他对芜湖山水景物、名胜古迹颇为欣赏,多加保护,使山川增色。据康熙《太平府志》载:著名的古"芜湖八景"就是在他任期形成的景点赞咏七律诗留存。这些美美相融的"八景"的实景(自然美)和咏述"八景"的诗文(人文美),一路走来,历久弥新,是今天的人们陶冶性情不可或缺的精神享受和激励区域社会发展的优秀文化资源。

China＇s ＂Eight Sights＂, later becoming the established integration of scenic spots and a repre-sentative of local scenery, is generally considered to have begun from the Northern Song Dynasty. As a historical and cultural phenomenon with local characteristics, it has lasted ever since in various places. Serving as Wuhu magistrate in the Yuan Dynasty, Ouyang Xuan had a strong appreciation of the land- scapes and places of historic interest and provided better protection of the mountains and rivers. According to Kang-xi ＂Taiping Government Records＂, the famous ancient ＂Eight Sights＂ is preserved in the seven-character poetry composed during his office. These harmoniously beautiful ＂Eight Sights＂（ natural beauty） and the ＂Eight Sights＂ chanted in the poetry （cultural beauty）grow even brighter with time going. They have become indispensable spiritual enjoyment and excellent cultural resources promoting social development.
