東漢京都賦中都城觀念的文化義涵

The Cultural Connotation of the Rhapsody on the Theme of Capital Writing in Dong-han Dynasty

城市不僅是地理的標誌，更是歷史的記憶與文化的累積，而人們解讀城市的角度也離不開城市背後的文化義蘊。從西漢至東漢對選都的意見，事實上不僅是地理位置的選擇，更是文化取向的認同與選擇。西漢選都於長安，自有其文化背景與意義，甚至蘊含政治權力本質與營國理念的思考。東漢遷都於洛陽，自然有其「遷都改制」的文化意義在其中。都城的擇定實是歷史、文化、政治三者權衡下本質反映的一種標徵，而東漢一系列以京都為題材的主題性賦作，正提供了一個考察的切入點。

City is not only a sign of geography but also the cumulative historical memory and culture. Therefore, when people interpret the city, the implication of the city behind is inseparable from the cultural view point. From Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the comments on choosing the location of the capital actually not only lie on the location of choice, but also the recognition of cultural orientation and choice. That Western Han picked Chang'an as its capital was based on the consideration of cultural background and significance, and even the nature of political power and administration. Eastern Han Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang. Such act implies the cultural meaning of 'moving the capital and restructuring'. The selection of a capital indeed reflects the sign of an optimized process among the historical, cultural and political nature. A series of Fu-work themed on the capital provides a portal in investigating the Eastern Han Dynasty.
