本文立足於文獻考證與文學闡釋結合的研究進路,利用輯佚得到的新材料,針對郭祥正的研究提出了新的論述。首先,本文通過傳統版本目錄學的進路,考察了上海圖書館庋藏的一部元代文章選本《類編層瀾文選》,並利用該書輯得郭祥正佚文〈醉吟先生傳〉。該文不見他書收錄,亦未見前人研究提及,屬於新發現的佚文,對於郭祥正研究的拓展具有重要的意義。其次,本文利用〈醉吟先生傳〉,抉探了郭祥正「隱於漁釣」的生活方式,以及在隱逸時期展現的抱素守真的生命志趣、超脫自適的精神境界,闡述了他將詩歌視作內心情感自然流露,重視詩歌娛己自得的詩學觀念。復次,本文透過〈醉吟先生傳〉與陶淵明〈五柳先生傳〉的文本連結,針對郭祥正的詩歌淵源與詩歌風格提出了新的闡釋:郭祥正將陶淵明及其詩歌視作典範,積極師法學習;郭詩風格不局限於「雄放豪邁」一端,「平淡自然」同樣也是郭詩風格的一個重要面向。
Based on archival work and literary criticism, this paper makes use of new materials and offers novel insights into the research on Guo Xiang-zheng. First, it examines a piece of collected works, Leibian cenglan wenxuan, of the Yuan dynasty, which was available in the Shanghai Library. Leibian cenglan wenxuan complies a lost essay "Zuiyin xiansheng zhuan (The Biography of Scholar Zui-Yin)" written by Guo. This newly discovered essay has not been included in Guo's monograph, nor has it been mentioned by previous studies. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a new source for expanding the research of Guo. Second, by using the discovered essay, this paper investigates Guo's reclusive life, his detached mentality, and his interests in keeping the true being. Also, this paper elaborates on Guo's poetic concept of poetry, which views poetry as a natural expression of inner emotions, and emphasizes that the function of poetry is to please oneself. Finally, by linking "Zuiyin xiansheng zhuan" with Tao Yuan-Ming's "Wuliu xiansheng zhuan (The Biography of Scholar Wu-Liu)", this paper puts forward a new explanation of the origin and the style of Guo's poetry. It concludes that Tao Yuan-Ming's poetry, which provided a model for Guo Xiang-zheng to imitate actively, infused Guo's poetry with a new style. Guo's poetry is not only "bold and unconstrained" but also "plain and natural".
