诗仙远游:《玉书》里的李白

The Voyage of the“Immortal Poet”:Li Bai in The Book of Jade

1867年首版、1902年再版的中国古诗法文创译集《玉书》是中国古诗词海外传播和中法文学关系史上的一部重要作品。根据材料证明诗仙李白是《玉书》里的主角诗人。首先,这是李白的肖像第一次出现在西方出版的书籍里;其次,《玉书》里大量诗歌彰显了李白诗的色彩;其三,《玉书》所选的“李白诗”证明本诗集是18世纪欧洲的“中国风”在19世纪末20世纪初欧洲文坛的延续。随着《玉书》多个外语转译本的出版,李白的诗名由欧入美,走向了更为广阔的文学世界。

The Book of Jade,an anthology of a combination of creation and translation of ancient Chinese poetry first published in 1867 and republished in 1902,is a major work in the history of the transmission of classic Chinese poetry overseas and Sino-French literary relations from the historical dimension.With abundant materials it proves that Li Bai is the“main role”in The Book of Jade.Firstly,this is the first time that the portrait of Li Bai,the Immortal Poet,appears in a book published in the West.Secondly,a large number of poems in The Book of Jade feature the color of Li Bai's poetry.Thirdly,the selected“poems of Li Bai”prove that this collection of poems is a continuation of the Chinoiserie in Europe in the 18th century in the European literary world at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century.With the publication of multiple translations of The Book of Jade,the name and poetry of Li Bai traveled from Europe to America and were spread to a wider world of literature.
