《西洲曲》产生的地理环境考释

通过对六朝建康自然环境的考察,并结合唐人温庭筠等人诗文中对建康风物、掌故和地理环境的记述,《西洲曲》中的"西洲"、"南塘"等地点应该在建康附近,这首杰出的民歌亦应产生于六朝建康地区,描写的是发生在秦淮河畔的爱情故事。从建康的人文地理环境和《西洲曲》的艺术特征分析,《西洲曲》应产生于建康地区的文化氛围之中,它最后完成于齐梁文人之手,属于"吴歌"的范畴。

This paper probed into the geographic environment of Jiankang in the Six Dynasties.With the records about natural conditions and social customs in poetry of Wen Tingjun and others,it was assumed that such places as "Xizhou" and "Nantang" in Ballad of Xizhou should stand near Jiankang,which had produced the well-known ballad by depicting a love story happening along the bank of the Qinhuai River.In addition,the analysis of human geographic environment in Jiankang and artistic features in Ballad of Xizhou proves that it should be yielded in the cultural atmosphere of Jiankang and was finally composed by the literati of Qi-liang Dynasty as one of "Wu Ballads."
