蛮夷、神仙与祥瑞——古代帝王的西王母梦
张玖青
摘要：中国古代的许多帝王都做过关于西王母的梦，但这些梦不仅仅关乎长生，更有强烈的政治诉求。帝王们梦境中的西王母或象征夷夏和治，或表达长生的祈愿，或是兆示上天降瑞。多面相的西王母不仅可以帮助我们了解西王母形象及其嬗变轨迹，也有助于我们深入理解汉代志怪小说以及汉代以后的仙传小说的政治内涵。
The Barbarian, Immortal, and Auspiciousness: the Dreams on the Queen Mother of the West of Ancient Kings and Emperors
Zhang Jiuqing
Abstract: Many ancient Chinese kings and emperors had dreamed of the Queen Mother of the West (Xi Wangmu). Those dreams were not only about immortality, there also reflected their strong political appeal. The Queen Mother of the West in the dreams of kings and emperors symbolized Huaxia and the barbarians, or expressed the desire of living forever, or presaged the heavenly auspiciousness. The Queen Mother of the West in different faces could not only help us know her images and the evolution, but also help us deeply understand the political connotation of mystery novels in the Han Dynasty and fairy novels after the Han Dynasty.
