傳生紙上亦生天：才媛葛秀英（1773-1791）作品集的生成、傳播與閱讀

Immortality Through Composing：The Creation, Circulation and Reading of Ge Xiuying’s（葛秀英，1773-1791）Writing

葛秀英（1773-1791），16歲嫁與梁溪諸生秦鏊為妾，於三年後因產病卒。秦鏊為了紀念亡妾和經營自身文學聲譽，至少二度重刊葛氏遺集《澹香樓辭鈔》，並以此公開徵求哀辭。此文藝悼念活動於乾隆五十七年（1792）至嘉慶三年（1798）間展開，歷時至少6年、獲得64位文士／閨彥響應，其中60人手稿被裝裱為《澹香小景（影）》。
本文考察《小影》、《辭鈔》副文本的異同，推進學界對女性文學作品如何／為何出版的認知，並藉由分析葛氏的文學形象，探討背後隱現的性別權力議題。《小影》所錄女性哀辭，透露當時女性讀者意識及跨越身分、階級的女性情誼（female friendship）。
《辭鈔》體現了葛氏的文藝婚姻生活、交遊樣態和生命故事，閱讀《辭鈔》將有助於認識清代中期女性創作體裁與情境。此外，《辭鈔》的刊行也提升了葛氏文學的能見度，直到民國二十五年（1936）《民國日報（湖南版）》仍能讀到她的詞作。哀辭作者、評選者不約而同地聚焦葛氏的謫仙傳說，反映仙女崇拜觀念對才女文化的助力以及清中葉世界觀的轉變。

Ge Xiuying葛秀英（1773-1791）was married as a concubine to scholar Qin Ao秦鏊（?-?）from Liangxi, at the age of sixteen. Three years later, she passed away from complications of childbirth. To commemorate his deceased concubine and to cultivate his own literary reputation, Qin republished Ge’s posthumous collection,“Dan Xiang Lou Ci Chao”（澹香樓辭鈔）, at least twice and publicly solicited eulogies for her. This literary memorial event spanned at least six years, from 1792 to 1798, and received responses from sixty-four literati and talented women, with the manuscripts from sixty of these individuals being mounted into“Dan Xiang Xiaojing”（澹香小影）.
By comparing the paratexts of the two works, this analysis advances the understanding of how and why women’s literary works were published, and reveals the gender power dynamics behind Ge’s literary image. The female eulogies included in“Dan Xiang Xiaojing”, for example, reveal the consciousness of female readers at the time, as well as the female friendships that transcended social status and class.
For“Dan Xiang Lou Ci Chao”, a reading provides insight into Ge’s literary marriage, her social circles, and her life story, thereby enhancing our understanding of the creative environment and literary genres available to women in the mid-Qing dynasty. The publication of“Dan Xiang Lou Ci Chao”promoted her literary visibility, and her ci詞works could still be read in the Human edition of The Republican Daily News民國日報as late as 1936. The authors and compilers of the eulogies unanimously focused on Ge’s legend as a“banished immortal”謫仙and her related works, reflecting how the worship of goddesses and immortals influenced the cult of talented women, as well as the shift in the mid-Qing worldview.
