A Probe Into Li Bai’s Fifty-Nine Pre-Tang Style Poems(XIX)

There are many problems worth discussing in Li Bai’s Fifty-Nine Pre-Tang Style Poems(XIX),which can be named Lotus Flower Peak in Huashan Mountain(西岳莲花山).From ancient times to the present,interpreters have put forward different opinions on the theme,period,and writing place of the poem,but they have not provided reliable evidence.From the perspective of historical geography,this paper elaborates on“Lotus Flower Peak”or“Lotus Flower Mountain”(莲花峰或莲花山)and“Luoyang Chuan”(洛阳川)in the poem,and puts forward a series of viewpoints for the first time.Li Bai chose Huashan Mountain as the starting point of his journey to the mystical landscape because of the special location of Yuntai Peak.Its position is easy to observe from east to west,thus forming an eastward immortal route contrary to the western route of the rebels of An Lushan and Shi Siming(安史叛军).It shows great significance to the division of the poet’s personal life stages that Li Bai started to use the word“Luoyang Chuan”.There is a significant difference between this word and the pure word“Luoyang”when it combines the applied allusion of the An-Shi Rebellion.According to the research results,this poem may be written during this period from January in 756 A.D.to October in 757 A.D.The poet did not enter Tongguan in Shaanxi at all,let alone climbing Yuntai Peak in Huashan Mountain.In this poem,the real geographical position runs through the whole process,making the poet’s romantic fairy fantasy and the real historical record perfect integration,fully showing the poet’s judgment of the current situation and the course of his mind in the An-Shi rebellion.

先唐辞赋与地志关系研究之检讨与设想

辞赋与地理关联密切。古代学人已模糊意识到赋是最具地理意味的文本,且赋与地志在文体属性、认识功能和学科归属上既有联系又有区别。现当代研究者在古代学人辟创论题、联缀学科的基础上,在吸收和参与中外学者文学地理学研究理论和方法的进程中,力图采用新视角、新方法、新理论打开先唐赋学的研究格局。其成果大体表现为“作为文学的地理”和“文学中的地理”的两大取向。但是,这种跨学科的研究尚处在初显成效的阶段。对于这样一个可以大加开拓的领域,应该遵循关联性、整体性和创建性三方面的原则。这既是必然之势,又为迫切之务。
