摘要
对于春秋时期息夫人的事迹,《左传》《吕氏春秋》《列女传》中有三种不同的记载。其中,《左传》的记载较为符合历史原貌,《吕氏春秋》中的相关片断属于传闻异辞,《列女传》中的论述则是经学话语背景下的产物。依照《左传》所载,息夫人被虏入楚,与楚王共育二子却始终"未言"。后世的阐释者对于"未言"二字给出了各种解释,从而建构起了各自不同的叙事文本,息夫人的形象也有所差别。历代歌咏息夫人的诗歌,虽然大多都基于《左传》,但诗人也表现出同情、谴责、嘲讽三种不同的主观态度。
Three different stories of Lady Xi(Xi Gui息妫), who lived in the Spring and Autumn period, can be found in Zuozhuan, Master Lü’s Spring and Autumn Annals and Biographies of Exemplary Women respectively. While the story in Zuozhuan seems more in line with the historical fact, the depiction in Master Lü’s Spring and Autumn Annals seems merely hearsay, and the narration in Biographies of Exemplary Women proves a product of Confucian Classical Studies. According to Zuozhuan, captured and taken into the state of Chu, Lady Xi had two sons with the king, "remaining taciturn" all the time. The various interpretations of her "remaining taciturn" by later scholars have resulted in distinct narrations with differing characters of her. Although the portrayals of Lady Xi in poems of later centuries are mostly based on Zuozhuan, three distinct attitudes, namely sympathetic, condemnatory and sarcastic, can be descried.
