温庭筠与《干■子》的创作

Wen Tingyun and His Gan Sun Zi

温庭筠是晚唐著名的诗人和词人,在文学史上有着重要的地位。才华使温庭筠负有盛名,然而,由于他士行尘杂,不修边幅,酣醉终日,由是累年不第。最后竟落得为当涂者所薄,名宦不进,坎坷终身的悲惨境遇。温庭筠的小说创作和当时的社会风气有关。温庭筠创作《干■子》的动机一是能悦众心;二是能抒己心。《干子》问世于晚唐时期,原书已不存,今人可从《太平广记》、《类说》、《绀珠集》等旧籍搜罗佚文。《太平广记》录佚文33篇,王汝涛编校的《全唐小说》共收有33篇。

Wen Tingyun is a famous poet of late Tang dynasty and plays a considerable role in literary history. Although he is a gifted poet, he has always failed in the provincial civil service examination under the old Chinese examination sys- tem, for his alcohol addiction. He is despised by the authorities, with no reputation and social status, living a miserable life throughout his life. Wen Tingyun＇s novels are related to the social morality in his time, his Gan Sun Zi aims to please everyone as well as expressing his inner emotion. Gan Sun Zi is created in late Tang dynasty, but the original writing is missing. Modem people can collect the lost essays or words from Tai Ping Guang Ji, Lei Shuo, Qian Zhu Ji and other ancient books. Tai Ping Guang Ji consists of 33 lost articles, which is completely collected by Wang Rutao in his Quan Tang Novel.
