本文討論「徹底的延續」的歷史與「徹底在場或臨現」的抒情詩在「用故事」和廣義的「覽古」之作中的交集。文章自古人文論的一個概念「事類」之深究開始，「類」是漢語族群自形態去把握林林總總之概念，彰顯事物之間「橫相連」的關係，意味著空間和秩序。在此，事件被指稱為實體，歷史遂被截為剪影，又藉對仗將故事壓縮為名詞典面。詩人在古跡山光水色中體認的古人生命氛圍、以及詩人跨越物色和人心，古和今的感物是廣義的「引譬連類」，是「類」觀念的又一體現。正是憑藉漢語生發的這些觀念，在詩與史的交集中，詩人成功臨現了「徹底延續」的歷史故事。而這也同時成為山水能滲入各類中國詩歌題材展示了最特別的例證。

This article examines the interaction of what has been called the “radical continuance” of history with the “radical presence” of lyric poetry in the use of historical allusion, and more broadly in the tradition of “poems on the past.” The starting point of the discussion is the ancient concept of “correlation” (lei), through which the Chinese language uses types to tie together various ideas, stressing “horizontal relationships” and implying spatiality and a sense of order. In this case, events become objects and history becomes a silhouette, as parallelism condenses stories onto a nominal surface. When poets communed with the ancients in the scenery of historical sites, crossing the boundaries of the physical and mental worlds, the evocation of antiquity and the present was part of a broad phenomenon of “making correlations” (yinpi lianlei), which was one manifestation of correlative thinking. Making use of these properties of the Chinese language, poets were able to realize a “radical continuance” in the interaction of poetry and history. This also explains how natural scenery infused itself so deeply into the Chinese poetic tradition.
