歷史是人類行為行事的紀錄；文學是人類心靈情緒的反映。行為和情緒本是一體的兩面，自有其相互之影響性。只是歷史成為史料時，著重客觀的敘述，而情緒形成作品，則偏於主觀的表達。 本文即嘗試將此二學域的資料作一整合研究，以達成互補之作用，即所謂「以詩證史、以史詮詩」。所以採用宋代的「靖康之禍」為背景，是基於以下因素： 第一：它是宋代歷史上的巨大事件，使國土形成南北分治，影響面甚廣。第二：它是異族入侵，使宋室失地求和，對統治者造成的屈辱和刺激很深。第三：因這次事件而創作、抒情的詩歌頗豐，在研究時有足夠運用的資料。至於在方法的運用上，多為參較與詮釋法，欲藉以達到對歷史真象的認知以及對文學作品詮釋之雙重意義。

　　　　　History is a record of human behavior and conduct; literature is a reflectioni of human spiritual emotions. Behavior and emotions are two sides of a coin. However, only when history becomes historical data, does it lay more emphasis on objective description, whereas emotions emphasize subjective expression when they ae changed into literary data. The aim of the current survey is to integrate the two fields of data in my study so as to reveal the reciprocal relations between them. That is, "to testify to history with poetry and to interpret poetry with history." Accordingly, the employment of the background of the "disorder of Chin Kang" in the Sung Dynasty is based on the following factors. 1. It is the radical change in the history of the Sung Dynasty, leading to the separated reigns of North and South, and great influence on various aspects. 2. It is the invasion of an alien tribe that results in the Sung Dynasty's losing its territory and begging for peace, and humiliation to the ruler, all these bringing about profound stimulation. 3. It embarks on the abundant creation of lyric poetry; in research, there are sufficient data that can be referred to. As regards the method empolyed, referent comparisons and interpretation are mainly utilized so that the current survey reveals the dual significance of the cognizance of the historical fact and the interpretation of literary works.
