中古墓碑文的文学化进程

On the Course of Literary Creation of Words on Tombstones in the Mediaeval Times

中古墓碑文的撰作者本身多为文士,他们在撰作墓碑文的过程中,多少会将其创作诗赋等纯文学文体的惯习带将进来,从而对墓碑文进行文学化的改造,虽然这种改造是在不自觉中进行的,而不自觉,恰恰是文学创作的一个前提条件。故墓碑文虽为应用文体,但在文人尤其是晋宋以降的文人笔下,逐渐由实用性文体向文学性文体转化,呈现出文学化的创作倾向,反映出魏晋六朝这个艺术化、审美化的时代和文人将生活艺术化的才能与本领。

Most inscribers of words on the tombstones in the mediaeval times were men of letters, who, in the course of crea- tion, more or less brought into their pure literary habits, and thus did literary creation in the reform of inscription. Although this reform was conducted unconsciously, the unconsciousness was exactly the prerequisite for literary creation, Words on tombstones were characters of application, but they were gradually transformed from applied to literary, especially by the en of letters in the Jin and Song Dynasties, showing the inclination of literary creation and the artistic features of the six dynasties of Wei and Jin, and the talents ad abilities of the men of letters in the era of aesthetic appreciation and the artistic treatment of life.
