《左傳》定姜人物形象之塑造——兼與《列女傳》定姜形象略作比較

The Characterization of Ding Jiang in Zuo Zhuan——A Brief Comparison with the Character of Ding Jiang in Lienu Zhuan

定姜者，衛定公之夫人，活躍於衛定公、衛獻公二朝，其事蹟首見於《左傳》成襄年間。本文旨在析論《左傳》對定姜人物形象之塑造，探究其於治國與戰事中展現之政治氣度與敏銳手腕。同時，亦兼與《列女傳》所載定姜形象進行比較。儘管兩書體例及側重不同──《左傳》為編年史籍，當中對定姜的敘述散見於篇籍之中，必當鉤元貫通方能窺其全貌；而《列女傳》則為紀傳之文體，隨人立傳，有史有評。《左傳》側重描寫定姜之政治氣度，不論於治國亦或戰事中，定姜皆展現出敏銳的政治手腕與高度。《列女傳》則以定姜揮淚送婦歸國一事，使定姜慈愛之情躍然紙上。然透過文本比對與文獻探討，可解析同一人物形象在不同典籍脈絡下之多元呈現與意涵。

Ding Jiang was the wife of Duke Ding of Wei. She was active during the reigns of Duke Ding and Duke Xian of Wei. Her deeds were first recorded in the Chengxiang period of Zuo Zhuan. This article aims to analyze the characterization of Ding Jiang in Zuo Zhuan and explore her political tolerance and keen skills in governing the country and fighting wars. At the same time, it is also compared with the image of Ding Jiang in Lie Nu Zhuan. Although the two books have different styles and focuses, Zuo Zhuan is a chronicle, and the description of Ding Jiang is scattered in the book, and it is necessary to understand it thoroughly to get a glimpse of the whole picture; while Lie Nu Zhuan is a chronicle, and the biography is written according to the person, with history and comments. Zuo Zhuan focuses on describing Ding Jiang's political tolerance. Whether in governing the country or in fighting wars, Ding Jiang showed keen political skills and height. Lie Nu Zhuan uses Ding Jiang's tearful farewell to his wife to return home, which makes Ding Jiang's love come alive on paper. However, through text comparison and literature research, we can analyze the multiple presentations and connotations of the same character in the context of different classics.
