汉魏六朝谐谑小说正名——兼论“俳优小说”与“谐谑小说”之关系

Name Rectification of Bantering Novel in Han,Wei and Liuchao Periods——Some Viewpoints on the Relationship Between“Clown Stories”and“Bantering Novel”

中国古代文学研究对于"小说"的概念至今没有确定的内涵,争议颇多,进一步进行分类和类型研究存在诸多难处。因此,用今人"小说"的概念提出"谐谑"这一类型,无疑是有争议的。笔者通过对汉画像石和汉代陶俑以及史籍文献的考察,探讨"俳优小说"的内涵,对"谐谑小说"进行较为科学的界定,认为其当为具有谐谑性、故事性的散体书面文学。

In the study of ancient Chinese literature, the concept of novel itself does not determine the meaning as the controversial subject. Furthermore, there are many difficulties in the study of classification and genres. Therefore, there is a controversial subject absolutely if ＂Bantering Novel＂ put forward the modern concept about ＂Novel＂. Through the investigation of stone sculpture and pottery of Han Dynasty and historical documents, and the study of ＂Comedians Novel＂ meaning, the author conducts a more scientific definition of ＂Bantering Novel＂ and believes that ＂Bantering Novel＂ is a bantering and narrative literary genre.
