两唐书对中晚唐士人干谒形象的建构

The Image Construction of Self-recommended Scholars in the Mid and Late Tang Dynasty in Two Books of Tang Dynasty

在唐代,进士录取与否除了依据考试成绩以外,"誉望"也是重要的参考,为赢得这样的"誉望",他们进行了广泛的干谒活动,这一活动在中晚唐达到了高潮。本文对《新唐书》、《旧唐书》中记录的中唐士人干谒资料进行考察,获取直接记载干谒的资料57条。对这些资料进行量化分析,发现两唐书臧否干谒者的道德标准,竟与今天评价他人的道德观念惊人地相似。两唐书描述的干谒者形象,本质上成为"传播价值观的载体",鲜活的人性没有了,干谒者成了某种"抽象概念"的化身。对两唐书士人干谒形象的建构进行考察,可以为观察唐代士人干谒形象提供新的维度。

In Tang Dynasty, the admission of a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations not only depended on test scores, but also on their ＂reputations＂. In order to get such ＂reputation＂, they conducted a wide range of self recommendation activities, which reached a climax in mid and late Tang Dynasty. Through inves- tigation of the data recorded in New Tang and Old Tang, 57 items of direct recording of self-recommended scholars in mid and late Tang Dynasty are obtained. To analysize these data quantitatively, we can find the ethical standards of judging the interviewees and moral values to evaluate others nowadays are strikingly similar. From the description of Two Books, the self-recommended scholars essentially become a ＂carrier＂ of spreading values and an exemplifi- cation of ＂abstraction＂. The thesis studies the image construction of self- recommended scholars in Books of Two Tang, providing a new perspective for the observation of Tang self-recommended scholars.
