论南朝四史文义-文章-文学的概念变化

The Change of Concepts in the Four History Records:from Wen Yi(Meaning) to Wen Zhang(Article) to Wen Xue(Literature)

南朝四史即《宋书》、《南齐书》、《梁书》、《陈书》对于当时文学有明显的深化反映过程。尤其在表述文学概念之时,四史所用词语存在一些显著的不同。《宋书》多以“文义”来指代文学,这是承继儒学与玄学义解方式的结果。而《南齐书》中以文章、文辞、文史等来表达史传人物的文学修养,以及梁、陈二史中广泛地以“文学”来呈示文学这一概念,体现出在南朝文学发展、兴盛的过程中,文学概念在正史当中逐步得到理清与确定,其间文学与儒学、玄学、佛学、史学之间都有非常深厚的联系。
