清代越南使節與孝感

A Study on Filial Piety Writing of XiaoGan City Written by Vietnamese Envoys

本文把越南孝道文化，和《二十四孝》所載孝感三孝子故事聯結起來進行討論，首先釐清清代越南使節燕行路線，確定自19世紀一開始，越南來華使節團改自漢口起旱，孝感成為必經之地，因此至少有十一位越南使節為孝感當地留下了二十餘則難得的詩文作品；不過令人納悶的是，這些熟悉中國「二十四孝」、不斷歌詠董永、黃香、孟宗故事的使節們，當他們有機會行經孝感時卻又絕口不提，問題出在哪裡？本文嘗試加以解答，並對孝感市打造「中華孝文化名城」提出建議。文末附錄《北寧省東岸縣河魯總鐵屏社「董永忠烈靈光大王」神蹟》，亦彌足珍貴。

In this paper, we discussed the Vietnamese culture of filial piety and three stories found in “The Twenty-four Filial Exemplars”, which took place in XiaoGan City. First, we clarified the route travelled by the Vietnamese envoys from Vietnam to Beijing, and confirmed that XiaoGan city was located within the route taken by these envoys since the 19th century. There were more than twenty poetries related to XiaoGan city written by at least eleven Vietnamese envoys. However, these Vietnamese envoys that were familiar with “The Twenty-four Filial Exemplars”, did not include those filial piety stories related to XiaoGan city in their work when they passed by this place. We included our explanation in the paper regarding this peculiar observation. In the end, we offered some recommendations to XiaoGan city on the invention of creating “China filial cultural city”. Enclosed in the end of this paper is the valuable “Bei Ning Sheng Dong An Xian He Lu Zong She Tie Ping She Dong Yong Zhong Lie Ling Guang Da Wang Shen Ji”(The wonders of Dong Yong in Bac Ninh Province, Vietnam).
