叙事传统与中古史传文本的文学史研究意义

On the Study of the Narrative Styles' Tradition and Literary History of Historical Biographies in Mediaeval Times

本文以如何面对传统为议题,探讨史传文本的文学史研究意义。在传统文学史学的谱系里,史传文本是文学观念的一个风向标。史家采摭诗文入传提示我们,传记文本自身除了具有文学价值以外,还具有文学史和文学观念史层面上的研究价值。史传中的文学史图景渐次清晰,文学史家本着当代书写理念的某一种叙事话语可以从中采撷资源展开重构,文学图谱就会愈加清晰,在文学传播场域中也会渐次形成新的书写维度。在文学考古中如何重绘中国文学地图成为一项学术使命,只是这里的"重绘"很难复现过去的文学图景,只是以现代学人的学术理念来更新既有的文学史图景,文学地图的重绘是学术全球化视野下的必然选择,也能够体现出重绘者的叙事能力。

This essay mainly deals with the significance of studying biographical literature for discussing how to face with Chinese traditions. In the traditional hierarchical graph of Chinese literary history, biographical literature reflects the developing direction of literature. By writing poems and proses in history books, ancient historians suggested that historical biographies not just are precious for appreciating, but are worth being consid?ered for the value of their position in literary history and the value of writing style. The literature scenes present in historical and biographical literature provide us with a resource which is worth being investigated further by the means of modern academic methods, which is the foundation for researchers to analyze the previous histori?ans’narrative discourse in the light of the writing ideas of their days. Thus the literary hierarchical graph can be drawn better, which can help to build a new writing dimension in the field of literature communication. How to redraw a literature map is becoming a new academic mission for researchers in the course of archeological ac?tivities in literature. And we realized that it is very difficult to reproduce the actual literature scenes. What we can do is to renew the existing literature scenes by the means of modern academic methods, which can not be avoided in the light of globalization. And what we are exploring now can indicate a new power of narrative tech?nique at present.
