李賀詩中的太陽神話改編及其意義

中國古典詩歌傳統中關于太陽神話的書寫往往與時間主題緊扣。屈原是最早把自身苦惱和困局與時間流逝結合作詩化敘述的詩人,對后世影響深遠。李賀對太陽神話詩學傳統的重寫和改寫，透露了其獨有的思想和動機,形成了獨特的"時空詩學"框架。李賀的這類詩作展現了嶄新而奇詭的追逐時間的種種方式手段,同時也出現了"神仙之死"的悲觀敘事。這個"時空詩學"框架及相關作品的內容，把李賀游仙和追求長生的作品從較普遍的政治解讀和系年方法帶回到知人論世的讀法。
Classical Chinese poetic representation of myths of the sun has often had a close relationship with the theme of time. Qu Yuan (ca. 343–ca. 278 BCE) was the first poet to write on his own frustration in his poetic discourse on time, which has had profound influence on literature on similar topics by later generations. Li He’s (ca. 790–ca. 816 CE) works recasting and revising this traditional theme are distinct in unique thought and motives. These works mark the debut of unique “spatio-temporal poetics”. Within this framework one finds a variety of creative and grotesque means by which the persona chases after time, as well as a pessimistic narrative on “the death of the transcendents”. This “spatio-temporal” framework and its content have become an important means by which we cast doubt on the alleged political satires in these poems and, instead, read them from a down-to earth perspective based on the poet’s life and thought.
