《牡丹亭》——女性的精神桃花源, Yuen Fei He

Dissertations from all years

世人常以借屍還魂之無稽性妄評《牡丹亭》，殊不知湯顯祖筆下的傳奇故事是反映女性困境的明鏡。那些諷刺「無稽之談」者，未見杜麗娘的真正死因。她並非死於對男性的追求，而是死於理學導致的精神萎靡。死而復生的情節是無稽的，其中蘊含對生命的沉思卻有普遍性意義。明朝的女性犧牲者以死明「志」，美其名日「烈女」、「烈婦」，實則只是一個個死在扭曲價值觀下的冤魂。湯顯祖對麗娘一角的形象塑造、成長軌跡的規劃、對回生情節的設計，均是他對病態社會開出的一劑藥方，同時這也是對於那些想要一了百了的女性的挽留。他撰寫了《牡丹亭》，嘗試展現建構現實桃花源的方法。建立桃花源的初衷是想為女性帶來生的希望，鼓勵她們踏出為自己爭取幸福的那一步。他對女性的關懷和鼓勵，超越了時代對他的局限。

因此本文旨在分析文中潛藏的關懷女性意識，解構湯顯祖藉《牡丹亭》塑造女性的精神桃花源，並探究其以回生情節作為轉折點，表示其對現實桃花源的思考和建構。

探討李碧華《青蛇》小說的謊言與禁忌, Suet Ying Chow

Dissertations from all years

李碧華是當代香港最受歡迎的作家之一，她的小說多次被拍成電影，而且作品往往改寫經典文本，本文探討的《青蛇》也屬於這類型的故事新篇。然而，筆者認為其作品蘊含的謊言元素雖然與其主題息息相關，卻常常被忽略。因此，本論文從《青蛇》中各角色説謊的表現，探討李碧華對《白蛇傳》故事謊言的繼承與改編，分析謊言突破禁忌，呈現與人性欲望的關係。本文將從人妖、倫理、宗教三方面分析角色的謊言如何打破禁忌：第一章從謊言促成人妖戀出發，延伸至第二章謊言如何維持倫理秩序，第三章再討論謊言如何導致宗教在小説中的顛覆性。

從文本到銀幕：《長恨歌》電影改編中的敘事與影像轉變, Lok Yi Chow

Dissertations from all years

在電影與文學的交匯點上，改編成為一種獨特的藝術形式，它不僅考驗導演對原著精神的掌握，也是對原作進行再創造的過程。電影改編不僅僅是文本的複製，它涉及文化、社會背景、敘事技巧和觀眾期待的多維度轉換。本文以王安憶的《長恨歌》及其電影改編為案例，深入剖析電影改編與文本之間的優劣對比，探討改變的原因以及它們之間的差異。

論文共分為五個章節，系統性地探討了改編過程中的多方面變化：第一章「緒論」，概述了研究的背景、目的和意義，同時回顧了當前學術界關於文學作品電影改編的相關研究成果，為後續章節的深入分析奠定了理論基礎。第二章「政治性與時代性的缺失」則探討了政治元素在改編過程中的簡化，分析了香港97回歸對電影主題的影響，以及比較了文本與電影在表現三個時代特徵上的差異。第三章「文學性的削弱」分析了文學性在電影中的減少，特別是敘事手法的改變和意象的缺失。第四章「女性角色的弱化和敘事視角的差異」，則關注了女性角色在文本與電影改編之間的不同。第五章「結語」，本文將透過票房和作者意見等證據來說明電影改編的失敗之處。

段玉裁《說文解字注》「渾言析言」之同義名詞辨析, Cheuk Hei Ho

Dissertations from all years

王力先生在《中國語言學史》說：「段氏於同義詞的辨析，非常精到。這是段注的精彩部分之一。」而段玉裁在《說文解字注》提出「渾言析言」術語，能精準歸納大部分的古漢語同義詞，有助後人理解古漢語的詞義演變。因此，本文以「渾言析言」術語作為研究目標，力求辨析古漢語同義詞詞義的共性與特性。

本文主要劃分為五個部分：第一章緒論集中歸納《段注》「渾言析言」的研究現況，並說明本文的研究意義及方法。第二章主要指出同義詞的內涵在於強調詞義的「同中之異」，故本文將同義詞定義作近義詞，不包括等義詞及反義詞。第三章主要簡介「渾言析言」術語的定義及形式。第四章主要從「同物異名」及「同類異物」兩大角度，辨析「渾言析言」術語的體例，並歸納不同詞組在析言時的詞義類別；第五章主要分析「渾言析言」術語的價值及不足，指出此術語如何反映古漢語詞匯發展的多元性，包括古漢語單音節詞與現代漢語雙音節詞的詞義聯繫，以及詞組本義與引申義的交叉義聯。然而，本文亦會指出此術語涉及的非同義詞，包括「同名異義的詞組」、「聲訓異義的詞組」、「特指詞義相差甚遠的詞組」。第六章結尾則總結「渾言析言」術語可視作判斷同義詞的輔助工具，但並非絕對依據。

風流、姿儀與記憶──《世說新語．容止》的魏晉人物美探析, Zheyang Fan

Dissertations from all years

從先秦到魏晉，文學人物形象之風流、姿儀由道德的審美轉向了對內在氣質和外在身體的審美，這在以人物品藻、軼事傳說的形式描繪魏晉士人的文本〈世說新語．容止〉中有明顯體現。「容止」的美學不僅是士人個體的自覺，也是將士人形象進行記憶、回憶的實踐。以阿萊達·阿斯曼的「回憶空間」為經，皮埃爾·布爾迪厄的階級理論為緯，〈容止〉建構出了對士人形象的「記憶術」，將士人的風流與姿儀固定在「文化資本」中，並以此進行記憶的再生產。

本文一共分為五個章節。第一章介紹文本的研究問題、目的，整理前人比較重要的研究成果並梳理本文的研究方法及行文框架；第二章討論標題中「風流」和「姿儀」的語義流變，釐清二者的關係；第三章拆解〈容止〉全篇，結合阿斯曼的相關理論，指出「記憶術」在眾條目中的表現；第四章討論記憶和回憶所產生的效果，並結合布爾迪厄的相關理論，解釋士人形象的在記憶中的凝固和再生產。第五章收束全文，總結觀點。

從香港填海歷史看地名之名實變遷, Sin Fai So

Dissertations from all years

地名與生活處處相關，然香港自19世紀以來的大規模填海工程，雖然幫助本港增加大量用地，但亦因亦改變了城市的地理面貌，也深刻影響了地名的「名實」。本研究以填海歷史為主線，循古到今，系統分析海灣、岬角、島嶼及水系四類地貌的地名變遷，梳理地貌改變時間，探討填海如何導致地名與實際地形脫節，並揭示地名背後的社會文化意義。研究發現，填海工程對地名的影響主要呈現三種模式：自然地貌消失但地名沿用、地名範圍隨填海擴大、地名隨填海消失。研究進一步發現地名變遷存在權力介入及民間力量。

本研究填補了香港地名研究中填海影響的空白，更結合地圖、文獻與民間資料，呈現地名作為歷史載體的意義。儘管填海工程使地貌「面目全非」，地名仍成為市民追溯昔日文化的重要線索。

《經律異相》中的動物寓言研究, Peiyan Chen

Dissertations from all years

《經律異相》是中國史上首部佛教類書，由南朝僧人釋寶唱編著。相關研究成果已蔚然可觀，然目前學術界對其研究多以文獻學以及文字學領域為主，有關其文學價值以及敘事類型的探討相對薄弱。針對其中動物寓言的專門研究更是寥寥可數，故本文有意拓寬相關領域，研究新題目。

本文對《經律異相》中的動物寓言進行研究。《經律異相》共分50卷，有696則，本文共從其中找出124則動物寓言故事。本文共分為七章，第一章為緒論，說明研究動機及目的，界定「動物寓言」的定義和範疇，並回顧目前與《經律異相》相關的研究現況。第二章本文為對《經律異相》的研究概述，根據佛教的「十二分教」來將《經律異相》中的故事分類為本生故事和因緣故事。第三章討論動物寓言中本生故事的內容特色和結構，本章運用「三段敘事法」分析其結構。並以戒惡行和行布施兩個佛理角度探討其故事內容。第四章則分析動物寓言中因緣故事的內容故事特色和結構，結構分為直接說法、用過去世的故事說法、化身為動物說法三個方面，並深入分析關於「正言」及「正命」內容的故事。第五章以《經律異相》中的降魔主題分析，指出其對於後世佛經變文的重要影響。第六章討論動物擬人的故事的教化特質，探討這類故事的教化特質。第七章為結語，總結研究成果。

Nothing Gets In The Way Of A Good Argument, Kai Fine

CMC Senior Theses

For much of Western history, the prevailing process of creating a proof for the existence of a thing (often suggested to be God) outside the causal chain was done by following that very causal chain. One of the most well known of these theories was created by Avicenna. Through following his classification of objects, one was thought to be able to “prove” the necessity for a thing that was necessary in and of itself, and separate from all other things. In this paper I outline the strongest section of Avicenna’s argument, illustrating his classifications. I then turn to Graham Priest’s …

Transformation Of Buddhist Musical Practices From The 7th-13th Centuries As A Response To Political And Social Disorder In Medieval India, Stephan Duran

Monsoon: South Asian Studies Association Journal

This article gives an account of the development of Buddhist musical practices on the Indian subcontinent from their earliest, datable instances, to the disappearance of Buddhist institutions from India proper, demonstrating the persistence of descendant traditions of Sanskrit Buddhist chant and song in contemporary Japanese, Tibetan, and Newar esoteric Buddhist communities. It is argued that the Buddhist musical theory and praxis of these three cultural spheres both preserve features of ancient and medieval Indian Buddhist music and sonically illustrate the transition from political and social order to de-centralized social organization, a shift that took place between the 7^th and …

“興趣”的詩學意涵及其話語承變, Guanghong Chen

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

“興趣”一詞，其意涵及所經歷的古今演變，於我們似乎耳熟能詳又習焉不察，值得從概念史的角度予以究明。尤其它的來源與生成，何時進入中國詩學領域，成爲明確的文學批評概念、範疇之表達，又如何於長時段的話語承變中，在凝定其本質意義的同時，被開掘出多重向度，構成豐盈而複雜的指涉，更需有較爲全面而深細的揭示。本文結合現代學術史上的相關成果，嘗試作出這一方面的檢討，希冀在中國詩學的語境中，釐清該詞的意涵變化及演進脈絡，並藉助這樣的線索，進一步窺測近世文學批評體系性的内在構成。

The connotation of the term “inspired appeal” (Xingqu) and its evolution, seemingly familiar yet often overlooked, are worth further investigating from the perspective of the history of ideas. This article comprehensively examines the following issues: the origin and formation of this concept; its entry into the Chinese poetics as an explicit expression of critical concepts and categories; and how, amid the backdrop of long-term discourse transformations, it gradually coagulated its essential meaning while constituting a rich and complex reference with its multiple dimensions unearthed. Drawing on insights from modern scholarly works, this essay elucidates the semantic changes …

“虚實”範疇的生成語境與應用場景, Xiaojun Liu, Biaorong Jiang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

“虛實”是中國古代文藝理論的重要範疇。“虛”“實”各有多重義項，“虛”之“空虛”“虛假”義與“實”之“充實”“真實”義並置，便生成“虛實”這個二元對立的範疇。“虛實”語義的形成源自先秦兩漢時期諸子對宇宙人生、天道人道的論述，其中儒家“充實之謂美”與道家“致虚極，守静篤”影響最大。應用到文藝理論中，作爲創作方法，“虛實”主要指虚字與實字、虚句與實句的不同作用，虛寫與實寫的表現手法以及虚構與實録的創作方式；作爲作品風格,“虛實”分别指向“空靈”和“質實”等多種文風，涵蓋詩、詞、小説、戲曲以及繪畫、書法等文學藝術類型。

Xu and shi are two important concepts in ancient Chinese literary theory, both of which have multiple meanings. The juxtaposition of xu as “emptiness” and “unreal” with shi as “substance” and “true” creates the binary opposition of xushi as a literary concept. This concept originated from the scholars’ discussions on the universe, life, and the ways of nature during the pre-Qin and Han periods. Confucians pointed out that “substance is called beauty;” and Taoists believed that “reaching the extremity of emptiness to maintain tranquility.” After being applied to literary theory, the philosophical concept transformed to be a creative method …

風自何方來? : 諷諭説的形成與演變, Sudong Cheng

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

華夏先民早就認識到風具有地方性和引導性兩大特徵，由此將“風”作爲德行流衍的象徵，引伸出影響、傳告之意。《毛詩大序》基於這些自然屬性，指出詩歌同時具有化民和刺上的雙重功能，是溝通上下階層的獨特文化資源，“風”由此成爲具有詩學意義的概念。漢人常用的“風諫”等概念也由此具有一定的詩學意味。至於“風諭”最初用來表示中央對地方、尤其是周邊地區的教化，至漢宣帝、劉歆等則用其表示臣下對君主的諫刺。鄭玄將漢人“五諫從諷”説與基於比興的“譬喻”加以整合，由此形成的“諷喻”説强調詩歌的政教性和修辭性，在中古時期影響廣泛。白居易又提出“諷喻詩”的概念，在强調詩歌政教功能的同時，卻强調詩歌語言的直白，與《詩經》學傳統中的“諷諭”説頗爲不同。二者也共同構成宋明以來諷翁説的不同向度。

The ancestral peoples of China long ago recognized two major characteristics of wind: its local nature, and its ability to guide or lead [things]. From this, they developed “wind” as a metaphor for the dissemination of virtue, extending its meaning to that of influence and transmission. Based on these natural attributes, the “Great Preface to the Classic of Poetry” identifies as dual functions of poetry [comprised most prominently by the airs or “winds” feng of the individual states] the civilizing of the people and the admonishment of the ruler, respectively, serving as a unique cultural resource for communication …

再論意境的本質及其理論定位, Yin Jiang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

從王國維以來，論者雖概稱“意境”爲範疇，却始終未從範疇的理論概括性和抽象性上來把握它，進而考慮它和古典詩歌審美特質的關係，同時顧及概念的歷史沿革和約定俗成性，只是在普通概念的層面上詮釋其内涵，以致産生諸多歧義。本文根據張東蓀對範疇的界定，由範疇屬性來對意境加以理論定位，將意境理解爲概括和衡量古典詩歌詩美生成機制的抽象範疇，并通過大量文獻證明，到19世紀的詩論中，“意境”一詞已指涉古典詩歌藝術特徵、藝術效果及其生成方式的全部内容，核心則落實於意象化抒情的詩美生成機制，其豐富性和包容性具備了範疇所必要的强大概括力和悠久的歷史淵源。

Since Wang Guowei’s time, scholars have frequently labeled “Yi Jing” as a theoretical category. However, they have not fully examined it in terms of the generality and abstraction that a category demands, nor have they deeply explored its connection to the aesthetic qualities of classical poetry. Furthermore, they have neglected the historical evolution and conventional understanding of the concept. Instead, the term has been interpreted in a more superficial way, leading to significant ambiguity. In this paper, drawing on Zhang Dongsun’s definition of “category,” I aim to establish the theoretical positioning of “Yi Jing” as an abstract category that …

古典詩學情景説的理論構成及其演化特徵, Lihua Zheng

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

作爲中國古典詩學重要範疇之一，情景歷來爲衆家所論議，被視爲詩歌創作的本質基礎和審美構成。追溯起來，情景説在劉勰、鍾嶸等人的著述中已顯理論離形，觸及“情”“景”二者之關係，但其理論導向，重在解釋“感物”成詩的發生原理，闡述自然之“景”觸動詩人之“情”的引發作用。宋明以來，情景成爲重要的詩學話題，對其理論探討趨於加强，尤其是明人謝榛，園繞情景關係的闡説相對集中和詳明，更明確了其對詩歌本質構成和藝術經營所具有的特定意義，謝氏的相關論述，體現了某種劃時代的標誌性意義。在有清一代詩學領域，有關詩歌情景問題的探討漸趨增多，其中王夫之、吴喬、朱庭珍等人堪稱代表，特别是對於情景關係的辨析，成爲諸家闡發的一個核心問題，其討論的角度或層次呈現多樣化特徵，豐富了情景這一範疇的理論建設。

As one of the important categories in Chinese classical poetics, the theory of feeling and scene has always been discussed by scholars and regarded as the essential foundation and aesthetic composition of poetry creation. Retroactively, the theory of feeling and scene can be found in the writings of Liu Xie and Zhong Rong, involve the relationship between “feeling” and “scene”. However, the theoretical focus was mainly on explaining the occurrence principle of poetry inspired by external objects, elaborating on the triggering effect of natural “scenarios” on poets’ “feelings”. Since the Song and Ming dynasties, the theory of feeling and …

口誦心惟 : “文氣”説的聲音性與文本性, Qi Hu

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

在中國傳统文學批評中，“氣”是一個内藴豐富的概念，兼有作者才氣、語句辭氣、篇章氣勢等多層次的含義。本文從“聲音”的角度追溯“文氣”概念的濶源，認爲中國古典文論中的“氣”基本含義即是貫通“人”與“文”的語言聲氣。在文學主要媒介由聲音轉爲文字之後，“文氣”的概念也發生了隱喻化的轉向，被詮釋爲“擬生命體”的文章中内藴的氣力。後世文人一方面通過字法、句法、章法的講求，以細部批評探尋“氣盛則言之短長與聲之高下皆宜”的文字形態，另一方面也用誦讀的方式，不斷重構“文氣”的聲音本源。

In Chinese literary criticism, “qi” is a concept with multi-layered meanings, including the author’s talent, tone of sentence, the coherence of writing, etc. This article traces the origin of the concept of “wenqi” (qi in or of written texts), points out that the basic meaning of “qi” as a literary term is the sound of language. According to ancient Chinese concepts, the human body and speech sounds are both composed of qi. Therefore, qi naturally connects the speaker to the phonetic form of the text. This material connection between speaker and …

“義法”原委考 : 一個古文概念工具的“時間層”, Yin Lu

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

“義法”是清代學者方苞提出的一個古文概念，詞源見於先秦子書、《史記》以及漢代以降有關《春秋》書法、義例的討論，其意義源則是宋元明以來的文章法度之學。清初方苞激活“義法”一詞，賦予其表微、紀事、辨體等多層含義，使之區别於文法“意義群”中的其他親緣詞，實可謂“有爲而作”。康熙末《南山集》案的刺激，使方苞致力於索解司馬遷的盛世心曲，通過《史記》義法的闡釋，試探政治高壓下的隱微表達機制；同時代史學單向度的徵實風尚，更激發方苞在紀事義法中凸顯主觀真實。在方苞身後，桐城後學試圖以“聲氣”超越“義法”，將“義法”理解爲桐城古文結構中一個較粗的環節。古文圈外對於“義法”的理解則更趨寬泛。“義法”概念不斷衍變，多個“時間層”重疊層累，既有在無意識間沿襲前代文法之學的“古層”，又有在政、學具體語境中强烈波動的“表層”。

Yifa (substantive technique) is a literary critical concept proposed by the Qing scholar Fang Bao (1668 - 1749). The origins of this term can be traced back to pre-Qin philosophical texts, the Shiji (Historical Records), and Han dynasty discussions of the Chunqiu (Spring and Autumn Annals); the significance of the term, however, draws on and reacts against the standards of literary composition characteristic of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties. These standards constitute a “meaning cluster”, against which Fang Bao distinguished substantive technique as a conceptual apparatus with which to confront the elite culture, scholastic paradigms, and literary style …

引言, Xinglu Zhou

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

文學理論幾乎是與文學同步産生的。自從有了文學，就有對文學的認知和解讀。中國文學理論是中華文明的重要組成部分，與中華文明一樣歷史悠久，源遠流長，是中華民族審美意識的精粹、人文精神的結晶、思想智慧的花朵。中國文學理論與源於歐洲文明的西方文論，各有其文化根基和發展路徑，各具特性，面目不同，也有相通甚至相同之處，都是人類文明的成果，值得共同分享，相互補充。

文德 : 中國文論尚德精神的理論基石, Xinglu Zhou

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

“文德”是中國文論之作家論的基點，貫穿數千年中國文論史，形成了尚德的中國文學傳统。“文人”在社會治理與文明傳承中擔任著重要的任務，因此對“文人”的道德品質有嚴格的要求，而文藝創作天然地崇尚超越規矩、擺脱束縛的精神自由，二者之間構成内在的衛突，於是衍生出“文人無行”的命題。傳统文學批評從正面强調“文德”，德爲主，文爲輔，主次鮮明。面對不同的社會文化現狀，基於不同的思想立場，對“文德”的理解不盡相同。或提倡士先器識而後文藝，或强調士人“不俗”的品格，或主張“性情之正”，以理正情，對情感的抒泄加以疏導和匡正。至明清時期標尚“志士”之詩文，心憂天下，關懷民瘼，個人情懷緊緊聯繫著社會苦難和時代劇變，傳统的“文德”論的内涵因時因地而發展變化，當前中國文論應該有新時代的“文德”論。

Literary Virtue is the basic point of the writer’s theory in Chinese literary theory. It runs through the history of Chinese literary theory for thousands of years and forms a Chinese literary tradition that advocates virtue. Literati played an important role in social governance and civilization inheritance. Therefore, there are particularly strict requirements for the moral quality of literati. Literary and artistic creation naturally advocates spiritual freedom that transcends rules and gets rid of constraints. The two constitute an inner conflict gave rise to the proposition that “literati lack morals”. Traditional literary criticism emphasizes Literary Virtue from the front, …

“文道觀”的理論内涵及其歷史演變, Ning Liu

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

“文道”是中國古代文論的核心範疇，“文道觀”關注文學的思想内涵與社會價值。先秦時期荀子提倡“宗經明道”，推重儒家經典對明道的重要意義。南朝劉勰《文心雕龍•原道》提出的“文原於道”强化了“文道觀”的本體論建構。唐宋古文家及其後繼者提倡“文以明道”，追求“文道並重”“文道合一”，在强調創作者主體自覺的基礎上，提倡“文”的明道意義。理學家提倡“文以載道”體現出“重道輕文”的理論傾向。20世紀後，園繞“文以載道”所展開的質疑與反思，推動了對傳统“文道觀”的抽象繼承。

A core term in traditional Chinese literary theory, wendao is concerned with the philosophical underpinnings of literature and its intellectual and social value. In the pre-Qin period, Xunzi promoted “Honoring the canon and illuminating the Way”, emphasizing the significance of the Confucian canon for understanding the fundamental principles of the world. The Southern Dynasties literary theorist Liu Xie, in his “Origination in the Way” chapter of the Wenxin diaolong, gives the idea that “Literature originates in the Way” an emphatic expression, solidifying an essential linkage between the term’s two components, wen (“literature,” “writing,” “embellishment”) and dao (“the Way”). …

“韻”範疇的衍化脉絡與“神韻説”的近世展開, Tijian Hou

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

“韻”從最開始表示聲音和諧的“聲韻”，轉而在魏晉時衍化爲評論人物、繪畫、詩文的涵括性術語，並與其他限定詞組合形成複合型概念，逐漸成爲中國文藝批評的重要範疇。宋人對“韻”作了全面系统的闡釋，並將其提升爲文學藝術的最高境界。尤其是范温在《潛溪詩眼》中以“有餘意之謂韻”和“韻者美之極”爲思想核心，建構了“韻”範疇相對完整的體系。爰至清代，王士旗吸收前人如司空圖、嚴羽、陸時雍等人的詩學資源，高舉“神韻説”的旗幟，成爲“韻”範疇在近世展開的最重要、最有影響力的形態。“韻”所追求的“取之象外，得於言表”的審美理想，不僅見於古代中國，也廣泛存在於其他文化語境中，應被視爲人類審美的一種共同取向。

The term “yun” originally referred to the harmony of sounds. During the Wei and Jin periods, it evolved into an inclusive term for evaluating people, paintings, and literary works. It combined with other qualifiers to form composite concepts and gradually became an important category in Chinese literary criticism. Song Dynasty scholars systematically explained “yun” and elevated it to the highest realm of literary art. Fan Wen, in particular, built a relatively complete system of the category of “yun” in his “Qianxi Poetry Eyes” with “yun as the lingering/extra meaning” and “yun as the ultimate beauty” as his core concepts. …

Beyond Boundaries: Evaluating Bl/Yaoi Subject Headings In Academic Library Classification, Cecilia Zhang

Journal of East Asian Libraries

This study critically evaluates the effectiveness of the newly established Library of Congress Subject Headings, "Boys' Love (Gay Erotica)" and "Yaoi (Gay Erotica)," in classifying and facilitating the retrieval of information related to these genres. By examining the complex history of these terms within fan communities in Japan, China, and Korea across different historical periods, this research argues that the current LCSH oversimplifies the genre's rich cultural context and ongoing innovation, creating barriers to effective information retrieval and access. Additionally, the use of the term "Gay Erotica" is misaligned with the nuanced nature of BL/Yaoi, further complicating its classification. This …

編寫"亡國"歷史記憶 : 徐鉉《吴王隴西公墓志銘》之興亡敘事與李煜論定, Xincheng Zhang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

本文以墓志銘爲媒介，期以探析趙宋官方對待降君之態度，透視南唐降臣入宋後的處境與心態，進而側觀趙宋君臣如何回憶並編寫征服南唐的歷史記憶，以及如何詮釋被征服者的政治地位。本文鈎沉徐鉉受宋太宗命爲李煜撰墓志銘背後複雜緊張的政治背景，發現徐鉉在把握趙宋官方統一南唐的立場時，也存故主之義，使之同時具有特殊的文學與史學價值。徐鉉構建南唐國亡乃天命所歸的敘事模式，既淡化李煜亡國之君責任，又尊奉揄揚了趙宋承天受命的正統性。徐鉉還粉飾歷史情境中趙宋侵略的主動性，同時還將國覆責任推之於離間趙宋、南唐關係的吴越。而著重敘述南唐被代表正統的趙宋所併，也源於太宗朝對“太平”這一統治目標的追求。徐鉉在對李煜形象與功業進行蓋棺論定時，突顯李煜對内以古道馭民施行仁政，對外謹藩國之度；藉之促使降臣群體再次認同南唐被趙宋征服的歷史事實。徐鉉繼承“燕許”碑取實録的寫作要旨，客觀指出李煜治國時的弊端，也隱含反省規箴之意。在銘文中以騷體描述李煜既葬勒銘的過程，以典奥淒婉之風抒發哀悼；且運散入駢，顯出雄辭逸氣。徐鉉實對北宋文壇具深遠影響，以該文爲取徑重新審視徐鉉駢文價值，明晰北宋廟堂文章倡古道、守法度、重氣格的文學風尚實有源自宋初徐鉉之跡。

This paper examines tomb inscriptions as a medium to analyze the Zhao Song dynasty's official attitude toward defeated monarchs, specifically to illuminate the conditions and mindsets of Southern Tang officials after their submission to the Song dynasty. It further observes how the Zhao Song rulers and ministers recalled and constructed the historical memory of their conquest of Southern Tang and interpreted the political status of the conquered. The study delves into the complex and tense political background behind Xu Xuan's commission by Emperor Taizong of Song to compose the tomb inseription for Li Yu of the Southern Tang dynasty. …

錢謙益所輯《吾炙集》作爲清初詩歌選集之重要一種，乾隆間雖曾遭禁毁，仍在清代産生了深遠影響。通過對相關序跋、題詞、評注的解讀，可知《吾炙集》的編選乃本乎真性情，標舉風雅，以見詩家之靈心。從錢氏評語亦可窺見其崇尚自然質樸、反對一味模擬復古的詩學主張，以及晚年對於幽憂衰頽的“亡國之音”的不滿情緒。《吾炙集》初以鈔本形式流傳，因遇文網，故秘而未刊，現存有光緒二十八年刊《怡蘭堂叢書》本、光緒三十三年刊《佚叢甲集》本、民國六年刊《虞山叢刻》本三種，各本跋文略述版本之由來，也存有若干疑點，《吾炙集》是否爲未成之書，所收詩家多寡，前人多謂尚待續考。新見哈佛大學燕京圖書館所藏舊鈔本，爲我們進一步研究提供了重要綫索，今蒐集辨析《吾炙集》刊本、鈔本，又考以相關詩文别集，可知傳世本《吾炙集》應非完帙，集中前二十家當是從錢氏原稿所出，而許友一家則並非原貌。另外，許友目下之末二首可能爲方文佚詩，而卷末評語亦非許友詩評，而是錢謙益評方文詩語。

The Wu Zhi Collection, compiled by Qian Qianyi, is a significant anthology of early Qing poetry. Despite being banned during the Qianlong era, it had a profound impact throughout the Qing Dynasty. Analysis of the prefaces, postscripts, inscriptions, and commentaries associated with the collection reveals that its compilation was rooted in authenticity and genuinity, aiming to showcase elegant tastes and the spiritual essence of poets. Qian's own commentaries also reveal his preference for natural simplicity over slavish imitation of antiquity, as well as his late-life dissatisfaction with the "sounds of a lost nation" (wang Guo zhi yin …

塑造"中國" : 成康大分封與成周王畿區的空間整合, Xianchuang Ye

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

後世多將《詩經．北山》“溥天之下，莫非王土”視爲西周王朝美好政治願景，實際這句話真切反映出周人欲實現大一統的宏圖。而要達成這一政治鵠的，藉由分封制的推廣來重構新的“中心—四土”地理格局勢在必行。西周統治核心區爲《漢書．地理志》所言的“洛邑與宗周通封畿”，與西部宗周王畿的形成不同，東部的成周王畿區是周公東征以來軍政謀略運用下的塑造結果，突出展現在成康大分封時代異姓諸侯的徙封和姬姓子弟的新封中。商末周初異國楚、鄂原居中原要地，因其阻礙周人地盤擴張和核心區穩固，迫其南遷，而姻戚陳國的褒封因不合於成王封建佈局，亦徙封至南土。成王在令康叔徙封至衛以領有殷舊畿大部基礎上，再於中原新封邘、凡、共、柞、密諸姬姓國。康王更進一步將姜姓焦國遷出三門峽，另封以姬姓焦國來穩固兩畿之間，並將本居邢丘的邢國徙封至北土邢臺以抗戎，從而真正起到蕃屏功效。每一分封（含徙封）諸侯的背後，都體現周初統治者精心建構其地緣空間、優化國土結構的高超設計，最終令後世爲華夏代名詞的“中國”區域在成康時代基本奠定下來。

"Under the vast heaven, all is the king's land" a line from The Book of Songs "Beishan" has often been interpreted as an expression of the Western Zhou Dynasty's ideal political vision. However, this phrase more accurately reflects the Zhou people's ambition for great unification. To achieve this political goal, the promotion of the feudal enfeoffment system to restructure the new "center-periphery" geographical pattern was essential. The core ruling area of the Western Zhou was the region described in The Book of Han "Geography Records" as "Luoyi and Zongzhou's joint royal domain." Unlike the formation of the western Zongzhou …

直覺與境界 : 朱光潛對王國維境界說的詮釋及對話, Jian Zhang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

王國維《人間詞話》雖吸收傳統詩學並以中國傳統的詩話形式寫成，卻深具現代美學的眼光。其境界説既是中國傳統文論的發展，也是中國現代美學的奠基。朱光潛以克羅齊的直覺説爲觀念框架將王國維的境界説納入其中，對其觀念作了進一步的詮釋與再造，使得境界成爲詩論體系中的核心範疇，亦使境界説轉化爲現代美學的基本範疇。朱光潛在吸收王國維境界説建立本人之詩學過程中，也與王氏形成了詮釋與對話關係。王國維論詞有隔與不隔之説，朱光潛對王氏的理解與詮釋究竟隔與不隔？實成一有趣的學術史問題。從王國維到朱光潛都融會中西文論與美學而自成其説，呈現出晚清到民國期間學術轉型的重要面向。

Although written in "poetry talk" form developed in traditional Chinese poetry criticism, Wang Guowei's The Ci Poetry Talk of the World introduces a perspective of modern aesthetics and establishes his theory of "Inscape." After Wang Guowei, Zhu Guangqian adopted Croce's theory of intuition as a broad conceptual framework to rethink and transform Wang's theory into a broader aesthetic paradigm. His sustained dialogue with Wang raises an interesting question of an interplay between lucidity and opaqueness concerning his expositions on Wang's critical insights. The rise of Wang's and Zhu's theories betoken the profound transition of Chinese intellectual thought during the …

明代《冬官》未亡說新論 : 以明代何喬新《周禮集注》為討論中心, Tak Wah Leung

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

明代治《周禮》者衆多，著作且豐，然後人對明代《周禮》學卻並不重視，如《四庫全書》於“周禮”一類只收三種明人著作，即柯尚遷《周禮全經釋原》、王應電《周禮傳》及王志長《周禮注疏删翼》；《四庫全書簡明目録》更於《周禮注疏删翼提要》中言“以有明一代，三禮幾成絶學，故姑存以備家數”，可見四庫館臣對明代《周禮》學著作極爲輕視，甚至深詆由宋至明《冬官》未亡説之討論。這些論述影響及至現代，至今仍有不少學者承續《提要》的立場，批評明代補亡研究，以致鮮有學者探討相關著作。有見及此，本文擬深入探討《周禮·冬官》補亡的現象，嘗試描述由宋、元至明代中期《冬官》未亡説發展之脈絡，其後再重點討論明代何喬新《周禮集注》之《冬官》未亡研究的特點。因《集注》系統整理宋、元的補亡觀點，且簡明地訓釋《周禮》原文，並常借經文發揮《周禮》大義，引起了明代《周禮》學者廣泛的重視，因而本文亦會討論《集注》對明代《周禮》學之影響，從而略補前人研究之未足。

During the Ming dynasty, the study of The Rites of Zhou flourished with numerous scholars and an abundance of works; however, later scholars, including those involved with the compilation of the Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature, did not place significant emphasis on these studies. For instance, among the works categorized under "Rites of Zhou," only three from the Ming authors were included: Ke Shangqian's Complete Explanations of the Rites of Zhou, Wang Yingdian's Commentary on the Rites of Zhou, and Wang Zhichang's Annotated and Abridged Rites of Zhou. The Concise Catalogue of …
