溫飛卿〈菩薩蠻〉詞張惠言說試疏

Chang Hui-yen's Interpretation of Wen Fei-ch’ing’s Pu-sa man Lyrics

溫飛卿〈菩薩蠻〉詞十四首，清代學者張惠言以「感士不遇」說之，謂其有寄託，後世學界頗有不以為然者。張氏之說，見於所編注《詞選》一書，凡十一條。學者每截取其中片斷以為議論，罕作整體之闡述探討，不免有誤解臆測斷章取義之嫌。甚者或多方譏誚，或張皇舊說，人云亦云，吠聲吠影者亦自有之，能舉證緣實以求者百不得一。本文因擬就一己所知，針對臬文意見，試作疏解，庶免虛妄之病，亦所以就正於方家大雅也。

The theme of unrequited love in the fourteen P'u-sa man lyrics (tz'u) by Wen Fei-ch'ing had been interpreted by the Ch'ing scholar Chang Hui-yen as an allegory of the frustration of the poet's personal ambition-an interpretation long ridiculed and attacked by later scholars. This paper, however, is in support of Chang's reading. Furthermore, this paper attempts to demonstrate that Chang's interpretation has shed new light on the stanzaic continuities, the sectional cohesiveness, and the dictional resonances of Wen's tz'u.
