過去研究者已經注意到南北朝的「南」、「北」差異，然而以南朝地域而言，長江下游的揚州與長江中游的荊州，對南朝士人而言存在截然有別的空間感。那麼，位於荊、揚兩州間的江州，就成為南朝士人宦遊時必經的空間。本文分三部份，首先談南朝作家如何將自身驚急的旅途與江州空間連結，且談擬西曲對江荊州統治權的政治意涵；再次，聚焦談鮑照、江淹兩位作家於江州時所寫的盧山諸詩，談其中的仙靈氣氛建構與文化屬性；其三，則聚焦何遜、陰鏗與江州相關的詩歌，談他們如何將自身沿江宦遊的厭倦，投射至江州空間，寫出有別過去的山水詩。就本文看來，江州代表的除了是南朝版圖的中介，同時卻又如仙境或空無的地景。作家至此除了興發隱逸情緒，更運用了另外一種空無與感傷的筆調，書寫他們所親歷的江州。
