《花间集》“更漏”意象研究

The Study of Hourglass Imagery in The Poems with Flowers

《花间集》中十八位词人的五百首作品创作涉及诸多意象,"更漏"意象即为其一,因其夜间计时的特殊功能,花间词派之祖温庭筠的相关创作以及后世花间词人对该意象的继承和发展,加之"更漏"是作品女主人公闺房常有之物,这一意象便得到较为频繁的运用。或表现时间的缓缓流逝,或从侧面展现主人公于漫漫长夜中因相思而辗转难眠的苦况,使相思之苦怨跃然纸上,从而营造出一种凄冷、哀怨的意境,以更好展现作品的主旨。

The creation of The Poems with Flowers involves a number of imagery; one of them is the hourglass imagery. The hourglass imagery gets use more frequently because the special function of timekeeping; the related creation of Wen Tingyun, who is the founder of the school of The Poems with Flowers; the inheritance and development of the Ci writers with flowers and the hourglass itself is the common thing in the boudoir. Some are expressing the elapse of time; some are present the miserable status of protagonist, who is sleepless because of lovesickness in the night.
