“木鹅”“流至”与北人南迁——惠州鹅城传说历史原型考辨

"Wooden Goose""Coming Downstream"and Northerners Moving South:A Study on the Historical Prototype of the Legend of Goose City in Huizhou

作为惠州别称——鹅城的历史由来以及惠州市特色“非遗”,鹅城传说的历史原型并非旧说所谓谢灵运“梦游罗浮”等人物史事,而是有关东晋南朝时期北人规模化南迁于惠州境内的移民历史,而自大庾岭顺江下广州、再溯东江抵惠则是其基本迁移路径。传说中“城”的创建,在很大程度上是北人南迁和土著向化交相作用的历史产物。对于该段历史的认识与正视,既是在理论层面推进鹅城传说相关研究向纵深发展的客观需要,也是在实践层面优化该传说活化利用工作、凸显惠州城市文化形象的迫切需求。

As the historical origin of the other name of Huizhou,"Goose City",and the characteristic"intangible cultural heritage"of Huizhou,the historical prototype of the legend of Goose City was not the historical events of the so-called Xie Lingyun's Sleepwalking Luofu Mountain in the old saying,but the migration history of northern people moving south to Huizhou on a large scale during Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties,which basic migration path is from Dayuling to Guangzhou along the river,and then up the Dong Jiang River to reach Huizhou.The creation of the legendary''city'',to a large extent,was a historical product of the interaction between the northerners and the natives.Understanding and facing up to this period of history is not only an objective need to promote the in-depth development of the related research on the Goose City legend at the theoretical level,but also an urgent need to optimize the activation and utilization of the legend in the practical level and highlight the cultural image of Huizhou city.
