文章太守:宋代郡守与文学

Scholarly Prefecture Chief:The Conceptual Basis of the Connection Between Prefect and Literature in the Song Dynasty

“文章太守”是指以学识渊博、才思敏捷、文辞典雅得体等为特征的长于诗文创作的郡守。它是宋人比较普遍的观念,最早由欧阳修提出,与宋代文官制度密切相关,既是对宋代以文章称道郡守风气的经典概括,也是宋代文学、政事合流倾向的必然结果。宋代郡守普遍擅长诗文,这是“文章太守”观念最好的注脚。“文章太守”充分显示了宋代郡守与文学之间的密切联系,在观念上为研究宋代郡守与文学的关系提供了学理依据。

Scholarly prefecture chief(文章太守)refers to a prefect(郡守)who was skilled in poem and prose creation,and characterized with his profound knowledge,quick thinking,elegant style and proper diction.Scholarly prefecture chief was a common idea in the Song Dynasty,first proposed by Ouyang Xiu(欧阳修)and closely related to the civil service system of the Song Dynasty.It was not only a classic summary of the atmosphere of the Song Dynasty in which articles were used to praise a prefect,but also an inevitable result of the merging tendency of politics and literature in the Song Dynasty.At that time,prefects were generally skilled in poem and prose writing,which was the best footnote of the idea of“scholarly prefecture chief”.Scholarly prefecture chief fully shows the close relationship between prefect and literature,and provides a theoretical basis for the study of the relationship between prefect and literature in the Song Dynasty.
