试论刘勰对古代文书学研究的贡献

On the Contribution of Liu Xie to the Research of Ancient Writ

在《文心雕龙》中,刘勰充分利用先秦直至魏晋南北朝的历史文献档案,对历代文书的发展演变、公文写作理论以及文书工作制度的概况等问题进行了深入的考察和研究,初步建立了一个较为完整的古代文书学理论体系,其研究成果在中、外整个封建社会的文书学史上是罕见的。可以说,刘勰树立了利用历史文献档案为人类社会服务的典范。他对于古代文书学的研究,对于现代文书理论的研究与教育无疑具有重要的借鉴意义。

In his ＂The Literary Carvings of the Dragon ＂, Liu Xie took full advantage of the historical documents of Qin Dynasty, Wei Dynasty, Jin Dynasty and Northern and Southern Dynasties, studied indepth the development and working system of writ and the theory of writing document. He concluded a comparatively complete theoretical system of the ancient writ. The achievement of his research is seldom seen in the history of feudal society in both our country and in the world, which, no doubt, can make a reference to the research and education of modern writ theory, and make a good example to contribute to the whole society by consulting the historical documents.
