论沈从文《八骏图》中的天干隐喻
Metaphor of Tiangan in Eight Jun Diagram of Shen Congwen

沈从文的小说《八骏图》中，八位教授角色依次用天干来命名。结合传统文化中天干的含义及其所属五行之间的关系，细读文本后可发现：天干的名称可隐喻对应角色的状态特征，天干所属五行的相生规律也暗示了各角色间的一种转换规律，即人被压抑的本能爱欲从萌发到炽热、镇压、失控的发展趋势。
In Shen Congwen’s novel Eight Jun diagram, the characters of eight professors are named by Tiangan in turn. Combining the meaning of Tiangan in traditional culture and the relationship between the five elements to which Tiangan belongs, it can be found after a close reading of the text that the name of Tiangan can metaphorically correspond to the status characteristics of the characters, and the law of mutual occurrence of the five elements to which Tiangan belongs also implies a transformation law among the roles, that is, the development trend of people’s repressed instinctive love from germination to hot, repressed and out of control.
