『方丈記』與「琵琶行」

The Ten Foot Square Hut and ''The Song of a Lute''

鴨長明方丈記中的「潯陽江頭」一段，明顯受到白樂天琵琶行的影響。可是方丈記的各種注釋或先行研究中僅有提到琵琶行，對於長明對樂天文學的享受少有深入探討。其中有先行研究以「琵琶」和「流刑地」為關鍵字，探討琵琶行對長明的意義。其結論認為琵琶行是長明強調自己與顯基及其祖父高明等桂流琵琶的先人之間關係的材料。但是並沒有提到長明與樂天間有直接共鳴的問題。雖然方丈記的這段文章受到琵琶行的影響已是明顯的事實，但是長明究竟從琵琶行中感受到什麼？這個問題仍有深入探討的餘地。本稿將從兩作品的創作背景之比較，證明方丈記中存在的琵琶行是長明將自己的人生，與樂天的人生作重疊思考後所得到的結果。

Kamo no Choumei's ”The Ten Foot Square Hut” has a phrase ”Jinyou no E” that obviously seems a quotation from ”The Song of a Lute” by Bai Juyi.However, there are few examples of deeply discussing the enjoyment of Bai Juyi on Choumei, though various annotations and the previous researches refer to ”The Song of a Lute”.In those researches, I can pick out one that looks on ”Lute” and ”a place of exile ” as keywords and represents that for Choumei ”The Song of a Lute” was the matter to emphasize his identity with predecessors of the Katsura school of Japanese lute, Minamoto no Akimoto and his grandfather Takaaki etc.But it doesn't refer Choumei's immediate sympathy for Bai Juyi either. Though it is clear that this phrase in ”The Ten Foot Square Hut” is the outcome of the influence of ”A Song of a Lute”, there is room for the deeper discussion of whether Choumei received any influence from that poem.In this paper, I argue that Choumei seems to have overlapped his own life with Bai Juyi's life and to have been influenced by ”A Song of a Lute” in Choumei's ”The Ten Foot Square Hut”, comparing the creation backgrounds of two works.
