“俗语不实,流为丹青”——文学传播与世代累积型小说历史化初探

“If Popular Sayings Cannot Be Real,They Seem to Be Pictures Only”An Initial Exploration on Literature Dissemination and the Conversion of Accumulation-Typed Fiction into History

世代累积型小说成书过程往往具有依傍历史而又不乏虚构的独特性。小说成书后伴随着文本的深度传播,某些虚构的人物、故事被民间传说,诗文笔记甚至地理方志被等同于历史真实而流传、引用和著录,从而导致小说向历史的靠拢。本文在全面考察世代累积型小说的基础上,对小说历史化的三种形态进行了阐释,并从文学传播与传统审美文化心理等角度对产生这一现象的原因进行了初步解读。

The generation process of accumulating -typed novel has to fall back on historical and fictional character. With the widespread dissemination of publication of the works, some fictional characters and their sto- ries are talked on and on by the people, and poetic notes and even local history seem to become the real histori- cal facts passed down and quoted by the people. Some are even recorded in the real history. Resulting from that, novels are evolved into history books. In this paper, with a comprehensive review of the accumulating - typed no- vels through generations, three forms of evolution have been explained. That apart, an initial interpretation of the causative factors for such an evolution has been given based on a literary culture of communication and tradition- ally aesthetic and psychological point of view.
