摘要: 六朝地记包含大量志怪的雏形和故事文本,为研究志怪的性质与流传状况提供了线索。分析地记中的洞窟志怪,可以从洞窟地记建构怪异的"事实"基础与叙事模式、各类地记中洞窟志怪的类型化与地方性等传说性质以及洞窟地记所显示的志怪"小说"的知识性与地域书写的历史性这三个方面,说明六朝志怪的"丛残小语"而非文学性虚构的"小说"性质。六朝地记中的各类洞窟不是自然地理的客观记录,而是被各类传说故事包装出来的灵异的圣址与传说的纪念物。梳理六朝地记和志怪中的洞窟故事,不但可以辑录、还原散佚的文字,亦能对志怪的来源、性质与历史语境有更深入的认知。

Abstract: Containing a great amount of embryonic forms of mythical novels and stories, the geographical books in the Six Dynasties provide clues for the study of the nature and spread of mythical novels. By analyzing the mythical records of caves in the geographical books, this papers examines the following three elements:first, the "facts" foundation and narrative modes of the construction of cave stories; second, the categories and local features of cave stories; third, the knowledge revealed in mythical novels and the historical features of local writing. We find that mythical novels are actually "fragments" of geographical books in the Six Dynasties rather than literary fictions. The various caves in the geographical books in the Six Dynasties are sacred sites and monuments created by legends and stories rather than objects of natural geography. By studying the cave stories in the geographical books and mythical novels in the Six Dynasties, we can not only compile and restore the lost texts, but understand better the source, nature and historical context of mythical novels as well.

Key words: geographical books, cave stories, mythical novels
