历史的浪漫:司马迁的蔺相如叙事

Romance of History:SIMA Qian's Narration of LIN Xiang-ru

司马迁在为蔺相如列传的过程中,从搜得的旧闻中选择了三个典型的"故事"予以叙述,它们分别是完璧归赵、渑池会通、退让廉颇。但在处理与加工这些"故事"的过程中,司马迁尽力发挥了其卓越的想象力,表现出非凡的叙事艺术技巧与能力,并以历史浪漫主义的态度塑造了蔺相如的人物形象,令史学与文学的结合恰到好处,无愧创作出的《史记》为"史家之绝唱,无韵之《离骚》"。

In the biography of LIN Xiang-ru, SIMA Qian from the past anecdotes selected three typical stories to narrate, which are respectively ＂returning the jade intact to the State of Zhao from which it was brought＂, ＂meeting Qin＇s King in Mianchi＂ and ＂making a concession to Lian Po＂. But in dealing with these stories, SIMA Qian gave a free rein to his imagination and showed extraordinary narrative artistic skill and ability, and at the same time he portrayed the vivid character image of LIN Xiang-ru with a historical attitude, thus linking historiography with literature at exactly the perfect point. Therefore Shi Ji, the historical records written by SIMA Qian, fully deserves the praise of the ＂masterpiece in history works, Li Sao without rhyme＂.
