《列女颂》创作的文体背景及其价值——兼及《列女颂》作者考辨

History of the Style of "Female song"and its Value

宋建安余氏本《列女传》前七卷每传记后都有一颂,共104颂,宋代改编《列女传》版本前,文献著录颂作者为刘歆,而在此后,这些颂被普遍看作刘向的作品。结合《列女颂》文献著录、征引及具体的创作背景,《列女颂》作者应为刘歆。《列女颂》是汉代看图作颂风气下的产物,宋人以《列女颂》为依据划分《续列女传》的作法是不周密的。

There is a Song after every biography in Jianan＇s “Female song”. There are 104 Song altogether. Before the scholars of Song Dynasty changed “Female song”,the author of Song recorded in the literature was Liu Xin. But after that, these Songs are generally regarded by Liu Xiang. Referring to the background, the author should be Liu Xin. Song is a creation from picture in Han dynasty. In the Song dynasty, some scholars classified “Female Song” on the basis of “Female Homecoming”, which is not correct.
