目录学观照下唐传奇作品的发掘及其反思

The Excavation and Reflection of Legends in Tang Dynasty in the Perspective of Bibliography

杜德桥认为目录学人为对作品进行分类,导致《丁约剑解》这类唐传奇作品为研究者忽视。杜氏此说有其合理之处,发人深思,对扩大唐传奇的研究大有裨益。然杜氏观点亦有可商榷之处:杜氏提出保持书籍的自然状态不作人为分类会导致中国古籍处于混乱状态;《丁约剑解》的文学性不为人所知,主要与传奇概念的模糊及中国古籍数量庞大有关,而非仅仅是目录学的分类问题。

DU De-qiao holds that it is because of the artificial classification Of literature works that scholars have neglected legends in Tang Dynasty, for example, The Story of DING Yue. There is something reasonable in Du＇s remarks, which is beneficial for the extension of the research on legends in Tang Dynasty. However, Du＇s remarks can be further discussed. Keeping books in their natural status may cause to the confusion of ancient Chinese books. The silence of the literature significance is caused by the obscurity of the conception of legends and the great amount of Chinese ancient books.
