楚辞之天象书写
摘 要:楚国具有源远流长的天学传统,因而楚辞中有大量的天象书写。在巫文化和理性思潮的双重影响下,屈原对天象的态度具有矛盾性,既在创作中大量运用神话化的天象,又在《天问》中质疑天文神话。楚辞之天象书写具有抒情性、象喻性,在遣词造句、谋篇布局上影响了汉赋之天象书写。

Abstract:Chu State has a long-standing tradition in the study of celestial phenomena,which is reflected in the abundant descriptions of heavenly phenomena in the Chu Ci.Under the dual influence of shamanistic culture and rational thinking,Qu Yuan’s attitude toward celestial phenomena is contradictory.He extensively employs mythologized celestial imagery in his compositions,yet he questions astronomical myths in “Tian Wen” (Inquiry of Heaven).The descriptions of celestial phenomena in the Chu Ci are characterized by lyricism and metaphorical language and have influenced the depictions of heavenly phenomena in Han Dynasty fu literature in terms of diction,sentence structure,and overall composition.
Key words:Chu Ci;Han fu;celestial phenomena depiction
