科举考试中的经义与论

On Jingyi and Lun in the Imperial Examination

我国科举史上,经义与论是两种主要的科举文体。它们同源,但在行文的要求上又有所不同,是两种不同的文体。南宋以后,经义与论相互影响,在形式上趋于相同,形成了较为固定的格式,最终成为后世程式化的两种文体,为八股文的出现提供了有利的条件。

In the history of our country's imperial examination, there are two typical types of writing, i.e., Jingyi and Lun. These two types of writing are of the same origin, but they also differ from each other in the style of writing, so they are two different types of writing. Since South Song dynasty, Jingyi and Lun had influenced each other, tending towards identity, then they came to relatively stable patterns, became two stylized types of writing of later ages, and then paved the way for the appearance of the stereotyped writing.
