“河之洲”地理位置辨析

在陕西关中东府合阳县黄河边,因为三门峡大坝拦河截流,造成一带湿地。湿地现出一眼涌泉,于是有舆论认为此即为《诗经》首篇之＂河之洲＂。本文即从周、召分地起论,再细说关雎鸟和荇菜的产地,明辨了此处并非《诗经》中＂关关雎鸠,在河之洲＂的＂河之洲＂。

On the Differentiation of the Geographical Location of “River Delata”

On the Yellow River bank in Heyang County,in the eastern part of Guanzhong of Shaanxi Province there exists an area of wetland because of the Sanmenxia Dam closure.In the wetland there appeared one welling spring so there is a consensus that this is the＂river delta＂in the first chapter of The Book of Songs.This article begins with the dividing of land between the two vassals Zhou and Zhao,and then elaborates on the origin of Guanju and Xingcai.It is proved that this place is not the＂riverdelta＂inThe BookofSongs.
