韩湘入仙故事早期流变再考

A Further Study of the Early Changes in the Story of Han Xiang Entering Legends

段成式《酉阳杂俎》“牡丹”条,是韩湘入仙故事的第一步,它以韩湘真实经历和韩愈《左迁至蓝关示侄孙湘》一诗为历史基础,其文本来源应与韩愈等人诗文作品相关,由若干材料拼接、综合,经传奇化演绎而形成。五代至北宋,《仙传拾遗》《青琐高议》中的韩湘入仙故事演变,受到了道教俗文学的巨大影响,富于劝诫意味,从故事情节和文字中能发现不少痕迹。

The“Peony”section in Duan Chengshi’s Youyang Zazu is the first step in the story of Han Xiang entering legends.It is based on Han Xiang’s real experience and Han Yu’s poem Written for My Grandnephew at the Bluepass as its historical foundation.The source of its text should be related to the poetry and articles of Han Yu and others.It is formed by combining some texts and contains legendary elements.From the Five Dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty,the evolution of the story of Han Xiang entering legends in the Xianzhuan Shiyi and Qingsuo Gaoyi was greatly influenced by Taoist popular literature,with a strong sense of exhortation.Many traces can be found in the plot and writing of the story.
