柳宗元〈始得西山宴遊記〉篇章修辭研究

A Study on the Figure of Speech of the “First Travel Note to Xishan” by Liu Zongyuan

柳宗元（773－819）的山水遊記，文富詩情，藝術技巧高超，深為後世稱道。在貶謫永州時期漫遊周邊山水所完成的「永州八記」（以下簡稱為「八記」），更可堪稱為柳宗元文學作品的代表。而〈始得西山宴遊記〉（以下簡稱為〈始記〉）一文為柳宗元在元和四年（809年）所完成的作品，依所記年代為永州諸篇遊記之首，其後諸記或描山寫水、或寄情抒懷，皆與本篇有相似之處，〈始記〉在「八記」之中實居領銜之位。本篇論文研究主題乃從篇章修辭的角度來剖析〈始記〉一文，釐析本文寫作的章法與技法，藉以展現子厚高明的文章寫作技巧，俾彰顯子厚遊記的價值。

The poetic and art techniques in the scenery travel notes by Liu Zongyuan are praised by later generation. The ”Eight Records of Excursions of Yongzhou” (”Eight Records” hereafter) finished while he was banished in Yongzhou is his best-know travel piece. The ”First Travel Note in Xishan” (the ”First Note” hereafter) was finished by Liu in 809. It was the first among the pieces done in Yongzhou chronologically. The other pieces share quite similar scenery and affections with the ”First Note”.This study aims to explore the writing and techniques in terms of figure of speech so as to present Liu's sophisticated writing skills and the value of his travel notes.
