犀照

犀照中国古代传说,古人认为犀牛角能避邪,淮南子说,将犀牛角放在洞中,狐狸就不敢回洞,用来比喻人对事物有卓越见识,洞若观火,典故出自唐朝编写的史书《晋书》第六十七卷“温峤传”中所记载的一段史料。后来科幻小说倪匡以此段笔记小说为题材,创作了卫斯理故事《犀照》。2006年香港导演林健龙拍摄了电影《犀照》。虽然标题雷同,电影故事却是以倩女离魂为蓝本,描述离魂状态的男主角跟他的遭遇,他和他的妻子阴阳分隔却情意缠绵,是一个带有灵异色彩的故事。

史料

晋书》讲述晋朝名仕温峤武昌周旋,于牛渚矶见水深难测,而世代也有说水下多怪物,温峤便将犀牛角燃烧照明;不久,在照进水中的火光里,隐约出现一些水中生物[1],形状怪异,甚至看到有穿赤衣、乘马车的人出现。当晚,温峤在梦中看到有人甚为厌恶地对他说:“我与先生人鬼不同路,为何照我呢?”。[2]而未知是否真的因灵界作祟,有齿疾的温峤在拔牙后,因而中风,不久便逝世了。

所以相传燃点犀牛角,可目睹灵界异象。而“犀照”一词后来亦用来比喻洞烛幽微,明察事理之意。
