Creative background and artistic features of the West Lake Trilogy

Abstract

《西湖三部曲》是《若鸿的诗》(诗歌), 《西湖之梦》（攝影集）和《梦断西湖》<小说>的合稱,三部作品以我国香港创作的角度书写,内容除了具備香港元素外.皆以“诗意”貫穿.主題則悉以西湖为中心.本文立意追溯作品的创作背景和艺术特色,以提高文艺研究者所引用资料的准确性.文章首次从一位研究者和创作者的二元角度.从创作背景和艺朮特色各个环节全面搜索资料，并酌量参照目前坊間附合笔者创作原意和创作事实的评论.提供第一手的研究文獻. 同時, 展朮创作过程的实际状況.使理性的文学评论以參詳的基點,使兩者不至于出现悖离. The West Lake Trilogy is the collective name for Ruohong’s Poems (poem collection). The Dream of the West Lake (photo collection), and Disillusionment of the West Lake (novel). All the three works are composed by an artist from Hong Kong and center on the West Lake. Apart from the Hong Kong—related elements in content, 'poetic quality' has been present throughout them. This paper discusses the creative background and artistic features of the trilogy so as to improve the accuracy of the data cited by literary researchers. As the author is both researcher and creator of the trilogy, the paper has collected all data related to the trilogy's creative background and artistic features, examined and referred to the reviews on the author's original intention and facts of creation, and provided first hand data for research. At the same time, the paper also expounds the actual process of creation while referring to the plausible literary review so that the two do not deviate from each other.
