论屈辞的“南方”空间书写

A Research on Qu Yuan′s Writing of "the South"

屈原对“南方”的表现贯穿了他的多数作品。对“南方”的建构是其空间书写的重要部分。屈辞中的“南方”共有五种客观地理意义指向,另有两种特殊的意蕴:神话的“南方”与带有隐喻意义、半实半虚的“南方”。人与“南方”空间之间也存在着互动关系。“南方”与“中央”在方位上的相对,象征着权力边缘与权力中心、善与恶等意义的对立,由此抒情主体在空间的出入行为也表现出复杂的情感态度:向南这一行为既意味着远离罪恶之地的主动“自疏”,但回归的愿望又使他感到南方不可停留,远行与归去的矛盾使他无法彻底获得解脱与超越。屈原对“南方”空间的书写,深受现实南方地理文化因子的影响,现实南方与文学“南方”的呼应,强化了屈辞中的艺术隐喻。

The image of "the south" was depicted in most of Qu Yuan's works.The construction of "the south" is an important part of his writing on space.There are five main objective geographical meanings of "the south" in Qu's works,as well as two special connotations:the mythical "south" and the metaphorical "south".Interactive relationship exists between the human and the space "south".The opposite position of "the south" and the center,represents the edge and center of power,the good and evil of people,etc.Thus,the geographical shift of the lyric subject indicates complicated emotional attitudes.The act of going to the south shows the wish of staying away from the land of sin,but the eager of going back makes Qu Yuan feel that he should not stay in the south.The conflict between going away and going back prevents him from complete liberation.Qu Yuan's writing on "the south" was deeply influenced by the geographical and cultural factors of the southern China.The correspondence between the realistic south and the literary “south” strengthens the artistic metaphor in Qu's works.
