用12.9万首波斯诗构建动态符号图谱,揭示诗意符号随时间演变的深层规律。
A Dynamic Atlas of Persian Poetic Symbolism: Families, Fields, and the Historical Rewiring of Meaning
- 将12.9万首诗歌中的意象聚类为可追踪的符号家族,构建多层关系图谱。
- 发现象征核心稀疏但关联紧密,神圣与宫廷词汇随时代迁移而权重变化。
- 揭示符号系统非固定集合,而是历史中不断重构的动态网络,适合文学与计算研究者。
波斯诗歌常以反复出现的符号而非情节被铭记。酒器、花园、火焰、神圣称谓、身体之美和宫廷称名跨越数世纪重复出现,但现有计算研究往往将其简化为孤立词汇或宽泛语义。这忽略了波斯诗学中实际的组织单位:相关形式作为家族传播,并通过重复关系获得力量。基于129,451首诗歌的语料库,我们整合反复出现的形式为可追踪的家族,区分意象材料与神圣及宫廷指涉,并在多层图谱中映射其关系。象征核心相对稀疏,指涉部分更密集,二者间的连接具有选择性而非弥散性。在11个伊斯兰世纪分段中,一些家族(如Shab“夜”、Ruz“日”、Khaak“土”)分布广泛;酒器、花园空间、火焰和抒情声调在后期增强,而荣誉编码与英雄宫廷词汇则早期权重更高。世纪特定图谱显示排列结构与成员构成均发生变迁:模块度上升,跨域链接下降,宫廷桥梁减弱,神圣桥梁增强。枢纽位置也发生变化:苏菲长袍(Kherqe)晚期突出,福尔克洪德(Farkhondeh)与番红花(Banafsheh)退隐,而酒杯(Saaghar)贯穿始终居于中心。在此语料库中,波斯象征并非固定词库,而是一个随时间持续重构的长期系统。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Persian poetry is often remembered through recurrent symbols before it is remembered through plot. Wine vessels, gardens, flames, sacred titles, bodily beauty, and courtly names return across centuries, yet computational work still tends to flatten this material into isolated words or broad document semantics. That misses a practical unit of organization in Persian poetics: related forms travel as families and gain force through recurring relations. Using a corpus of 129,451 poems, we consolidate recurrent forms into traceable families, separate imagistic material from sacred and courtly reference, and map their relations in a multi-layer graph. The symbolic core is relatively sparse, the referential component much denser, and the attachment zone between them selective rather than diffuse. Across 11 Hijri-century bins, some families remain widely distributed, especially Shab (Night), Ruz (Day), and Khaak (Earth). Wine vessels, garden space, flame, and lyric sound strengthen later, while prestige-coded and heroic-courtly vocabulary is weighted earlier. Century-specific graphs show change in arrangement as well as membership. Modularity rises, cross-scope linkage declines, courtly bridges weaken, and sacred bridges strengthen. Hub positions shift too: Kherqe (Sufi Robe) gains late prominence, Farkhondeh {Blessed} and Banafsheh (Violet) recede, and Saaghar (Wine Cup) stays central across the chronology. In this corpus, Persian symbolism appears less as a fixed repertory than as a long-lived system whose internal weights and connections change over time.
