摘要
前人对于唐代荆州诗的研究侧重文学评论,而较少关注其中自然地理的书写.事实上,此类诗歌蕴含着丰富的地理信息.由于唐代流传于世的地理文献较少,因此不妨采用唐代诗歌作为一种"史料",通过对这类文学作品的研究揭开唐代荆州自然地理的另一番面貌.同时,考虑到诗歌创作的个性化因素,还应结合其他文史典籍进行辨析,从而发掘诗歌中讹误或虚构的成分,通过诗史互见、文学地理学等跨学科研究方法,更加立体、全面地剖析、还原唐代荆州的山脉特点.在唐代典籍记载寥寥的情况下,诗歌留下了当时的山川影像,并在文化层面反哺自身、滋养后世,呈现出良性的文史互动.正是由于诗歌具有较高的传播性和留存性,故可以与历史相参照,为后世的地理研究提供参考,从而补充和细化历史记载.同时,诗歌所记录和构建的山川影像经由辨析,也有助于后人想象当时诗人眼中的画面,并感知其情感.
Abstract
Previous studies on Tang Dynasty poetry from Jingzhou have focused on literary criticism,paying less attention to the depiction of natural geography within these works.In fact,these poems contain a wealth of geographical information.Given the scarcity of geographical texts from the Tang Dynasty that have been passed down,it is beneficial to consider Tang poetry as a form of"historical material."By examining these literary works,we can unveil another aspect of the natural geography of Jingzhou during the Tang Dynasty.Additionally,considering the individuality of poetic creation,it is also important to analyze these works in conjunction with other historical and literary texts.This approach allows us to identify any errors or fictional elements in the poems.Through interdisciplinary research methods such as the mutual illumination of poetry and history,and literary geography,we can analyze and restore the characteristics of Jingzhou's mountain ranges in a more comprehensive and three-dimensional manner.In the absence of extensive records in Tang texts,poetry has preserved images of the mountains and rivers of that time,nourishing subsequent generations culturally and presenting a positive interaction between literature and history.The high transmissibility and preservation of poetry enable it to be referenced against historical records,providing references for later geographical studies and thus supplementing and refining historical documentation.Moreover,the mountain and river images recorded and constructed in poetry,once analyzed and restored,help future generations imagine the scenes as seen by the poets and perceive the emotions in their hearts.
