论《韩非子·说林》的性质与文体学意义

A Study on the Character and Stylistics Meaning of “Shuolin” in “Hanfeizi”

《韩非子·说林》上下两篇本是韩非平时积累的原始资料汇编,内容多为传说故事,类似 于后来之“故事集”。它的文体学意义有二:一方面,它是我国最早的寓言专集,标志着我国寓言的 独立;另一方面,它对后世笔记小说有很大的影响,可以将其称作“准笔记小说”,这一点通过它与 《说苑》的比较就可以看出来。

Han Fei collected a lot of original material from his everyday life and put them together into his “Shuolin”. The book is similar to the subsequent “collection of stories”, because most pieces involve the stories of legend. The stylistics meaning of the book can be divided into two parts. On the one hand, as the first collection that focuses on fables of China, it indicates the independent of fables in our country. On the other hand, its impacts on the subsequent fiction of sketches are so deep. Compared with the book “Shuoyuan”, its character of “quasi fiction of sketches” can be figured out in this article.
