从“志怪”到“纪闻”——对牛肃《纪闻》的重新审视

From "Zhiguai" to "Jiwen":Re-examination of Niu Su’s Ji Wen

根据初盛唐人的学术观念,《纪闻》应该归入史部的杂记或杂录类,再结合当时的史学家对这类著述的要求,我们可判定此书的独特价值在于:它对初盛唐时代人们的情感、信仰、想象力、道德状况和生活世界作了多层次的、立体化的呈现,兼具鲜明的历史性、文学性和传奇性,这在整个唐代的笔记小说和志怪传奇集中都是独一无二的。

According to the academic concepts of the early Tang Dynasty,Ji Wen should be classified as miscellaneous records or miscellaneous records of the section of history.From the perspective of this classification,combined with the requirements of historians at the time for this type of writing,we can determine that the unique value of Ji Wen lies in:It presents the emotions,beliefs,imagination,moral conditions and life world of people in the early and heyday of the Tang Dynasty in a multi-level and three-dimensional manner.It has a distinctive historicity,literaturenity and legendary character.This book is unique in the note novel,Zhi Guai collections and Chuan Qi collection of the entire Tang Dynasty.
