摘要 Abstract:

作為中國古典小說的巔峰之作，《三國演義》除廣為人知的詩詞外，還收錄、提及並虛構了多篇著名的賦文（如《銅雀台賦》、《大霧垂江賦》、《據水斷橋賦》等）。長期以來，這些文體異質的賦文常被大眾讀者甚至部分研究者視為敘事“贅肉”而遭“跳過”。

本講座旨在重新審視這些被誤讀的“冗長廢話”，深入揭示賦體文學與小說敘事之間互嵌博弈的 “愛恨情仇”。從史料考證到文學虛構，看羅貫中如何用辭賦點亮英雄史詩，用語言藝術渲染小說敘事。跳過它們，你可能錯過了一半的三國！

As the crowning achievement of classical Chinese historical fiction, Romance of the Three Kingdoms is renowned not only for its celebrated poetry, but also for its inclusion, deployment, and invention of numerous famous fu (rhapsodies), such as The Rhapsody on the Bronze Sparrow Terrace, The Rhapsody on the Great Mist over the River, and The Rhapsody on Dangyang Bridge. For a long time, these stylistically distinct fu compositions have often been dismissed by general readers, and even by some scholars, as narrative “excesses” and consequently skipped over.

This lecture seeks to reexamine these misunderstood “lengthy digressions” and to uncover the intricate relationship of tension, attraction, and mutual influence between fu literature and fictional narrative. From historical inquiry to literary invention, we will explore how Luo Guanzhong employed the art of the fu to illuminate his heroic epic and enrich his storytelling through linguistic artistry. Skip these passages, and you may be missing half of the Three Kingdoms!
