李白「静夜思」本文変遷史新考 : 『文選』所収の魏文帝「雑詩二首」との関連性をめぐって

This article is one of the author’s investigations into the acceptance of Wen Xuan language on Tang poetry, including works by Du Fu 杜甫, Li Bai, Bai Juyi 白居易 and Yuan Zhen 元稹, and of the influence of Li Shan 李善’s Annotations.
In his previous article, “Fears of Spring: An Investigation into Du Fu’s acceptance of Li Shan’s Annotations of Wen Xuan”, the author analyzed Du Fu’s Jue Ju 絶句(Enjoying Flowers Walking Alone on a River Bank 江畔独歩尋花) and points out that Du Fu’s poems were greatly influenced by language used in Wen Xuan and Li Shan’s Annotations.
In this article, the author mainly focuses on textual changes in Li Bai’s Quiet Night Thought. He casts doubt on the widely-accepted belief that some scholars in the Ming Dynasty tampered with the poem and calls for an immediate review of the theory. By studying the rhyme scheme of its potential prototypical verses, the author also finds that the poem is actually a five-character fourline short verse created on the basis of Wei Wendi’s A Couple of Zashis collected in Wen Xuan, from which many latter-day versions are derived.
