Summary
本次講座，復旦大學中文系侯體健教授以「祠祿制度與南宋行旅文學」爲題，為我們分享他在該領域的研究成果。
講座第一部分，侯教授先從「祠官」的定義、歷史背景、發展規模來闡述祠官身份承載了整個南宋士人的集體經驗，將之訴諸文學作品，形成了獨特的「祠官文學」。侯教授繼而從制度與文體形態、制度與文學空間、制度與文人心靈三方面來分析政治制度對文學創作的影響。講座第二部分，侯教授通過張孝祥、范成大、辛棄疾的作品説明祠祿制度帶有一定的貶謫色彩，造成了宋代文人所處空間及心態的轉變，並從宏觀層面（奉祠題材在宋代行旅文學的佔比）和微觀層面（具體作家的個人形跡）來分析祠祿制度與行旅文學的互動關係。講座第三部分以周必大奉祠期間創作的《歸廬陵日記》、《泛舟遊山錄》的文本系年、文本類型及特徵，並與陸遊《入蜀記》及范成大《吳船錄》加以比對，指出周氏的創作在於「刻畫熟悉的江南，不在求奇，而在探索發現的樂趣。」第四部分以文本細讀的方式，闡述周必大《歸廬陵日記》「健遊者形象」及《南歸錄》「抱愁者形象」的建構方式。講座第五部分以呂祖謙和周必大爲例，指出南宋士人的奉祠生涯促成了他們多向度的行記書寫，充拓了宋代文人行記的文體面貌和精神指向。
侯教授最後總結指出：南宋祠祿制度深刻影響士人的心靈世界、行旅體驗與文學表達。祠官們把特殊的人生際遇傾注於行旅文學中，無疑豐富了宋代行旅文學的精神圖景。
