会通与实学视野下的《通志·艺文略》小说分类

Classification of Fiction in Tong Zhi : Yi Wen Lue Viewed from the Perspectives of Encyclopedic Integration and Practical Studies

在会通与实学思想指引下,郑樵在《通志·艺文略》的小说分类实践中通观小说源流,准确把握小说"丛残"与"小道"两大特征,清理了充满虚构的志怪作品,使小说分类回归原初的子部传统。从这一角度出发,或许可以解释郑樵小说观念与小说分类实践自相矛盾的深层原因。

Guided by encyclopedic integration and practical studies,Zheng Qiao in his Tong Zhi : Yi Wen Lue had a thorough and panoramic review of the origins and currents of ancient Chinese fiction and accurately grasped its two main characteristics : cong can(short short stories) and xiao dao(gossip),organized Tang's Legend of Tales,and restored the classification of fiction to the traditional belles-lettres.From this we can understand the underlying causes for the contradiction between his idea of fiction and his practice of classifying fiction.
