《艺文类聚》选录的文体名称和数量辨正

A Study of the Names and Number of the Excerpted Styles in Yiwenleiju

在《艺文类聚》许多子目"文"的部分,分别标注了选录的各类文体,在子目中也有以文体作为标题的,其标注的文体有70种。但是,其中有编者生造的文体;有同一种文体分作两个或两个以上名称,分别收在不同部类的;有将文题误作文体的。经考辨,《艺文类聚》实际选录的文体数量为52种。

In Yiwenleiju,in many sub-catalogs called ＂articles＂ are respectively marked various styles of excerpts.Some are also headlined with the corresponding styles which total up to seventy.However,some of them are made up or coined by editors and some are actually the same styles which are separated into two or more denominations and classified into different categories.In addition,some denominations are mistaken for styles.Hence it may be concluded that the actual amount of the excerpted styles in Yiwenleiju turns out to be fifty-two.
