清高宗御製詠物銘文器物及相關問題

Abstract

本論文以器表帶有清高宗（1735-1796在位）御製詠物銘文的器物為研究對象，在過往研究的基礎上進一步思考，試圖對清高宗御製銘文器物的發展狀況有更全面的剖析，釐清其性質、發展與文化意涵，以呈現其隨著時間，發展出愈加豐富內涵之現象。 首先，本論文指出乾隆朝存在兩類清高宗御製銘文器物，其中一類為銘有清高宗御製詠物詩文的作品，表現出皇帝將所銘物品特殊化的慾望，而與另一類——非詠物的御製銘文器物有所區別——後者更著重物品的展示功能。本論文進一步導入時序性的觀察，剖析清高宗御製詠物銘文器物的發端、轉向，及皇帝詠物的知識基礎與政治意涵，注意到清高宗詠物與銘刻有其逐步發展歷程，亦與歷史脈絡息息相關。最後，在前述基礎上，本論文進一步討論清高宗詠物銘文器物的功能及意涵，指出皇帝透過詠物銘文，建立「物」與「詩文」密不可分的緊密關係，建構觀者「眼見為憑」的真實性，使其想透過詩文傳達的知識與信念，成為可觸碰、感知到的物質性的真實，永久流傳後世。

Based on the past research, the thesis focused on artifacts with object-chanting inscriptions by the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735-1796) of the Qing Dynasty, attempting to clarify its nature, development and cultural meaning, and to present the phenomenon that it has developed more and more complicated meaning over time. First of all, the thesis points out that there were two types of imperial inscriptions artifacts made by the Qianlong Emperor during his reign. Those inscribed with object-chanting poems and prose showed the emperor's desire to specialize the inscribed objects, which is different from those inscribed with non-object-chanting poems - the latter focuses more on the display function of inscriptions. The thesis further introduces chronological observations, and analyzes the development of artifacts with object-chanting inscriptions by the Qianlong Emperor, as well as the knowledge base and political implication of the emperor's inscriptions, which is closely related to the historical context. Finally, based on the above, this thesis further discusses the function and meaning of the imperial object-chanting inscriptions of the Qianlong Emperor, and points out that the emperor construct reality by combining 'objects' and 'poetry' together, this inseparable and close relationship between 'objects' and 'poetry' enhances reality to the viewer, so that the knowledge and beliefs that the emperor wants to convey through poetry and prose become a tangible reality that can be touched and perceived by the viewer, and will be passed down to future generations forever.
