竟陵“士林”考论——读《金楼子·说蕃》

Examination and Discussion of Jingling "Shilin"

齐竟陵王萧子良开西邸集文学之事,始见于萧子显《南齐书.武十七王·萧子良传》,但萧子显不言人数及具体人名。梁元帝萧绎《金楼子·说蕃》篇在萧子显的基础上率先提出十一人的竟陵文士集团,并以"士林"号之。《梁书·武帝纪》有竟陵"八友"之说;《梁书·沈约传》言竟陵文士则仅列举六人。三种说法,人数不同,名号有异。如此差异恐与《梁书》编撰过程有关。《金楼子·说蕃》篇所列十一人的竟陵"士林",较之《梁书·武帝纪》的竟陵"八友"之说和《梁书·沈约传》的"六人"说,似更能反映竟陵文士集团的本来面目。

The three accounts differ from each other in the number of scholars and their designations of Jingling King of Qi Kingdom Xiao Ziliang＇s establishing Xidi and engaging in literature, which is perhaps connected with the process ofLiang Shu compilation. Of the three, the account of Jingling ＂Shilin＂ （scholar group） of eleven-scholars in Shuo Fan of Jin Lou Zi is closer to the truth of Jingling scholar group than the ＂eight-friend＂ account in Wu Di Ji of Liang Shu and the ＂six-person＂ account in Shen Yue Zhuan of Liang Shu.
