读《皮子文薮序》——试论文集编纂的两个体例传统

Two Traditional Paradigms of the Compilation of Anthology:A Case Study of the Author's Preface to A Mélange of Essays by Pi Rixiu

皮日休《皮子文薮序》体现了古代文集载系世次以及文集序文中排比篇目小序以阐明篇目要旨的两种体例特点。这两种体例的源头可以追溯到司马迁《史记·太史公自序》等西汉典籍,在唐以后的文集编纂过程中则产生了一些变式。通过这一考察,可以了解经史子部古书体例对晚出的集部文集编纂产生的一些影响,也能够通过这一视角对唐以后文集某些体例的新变有所把握。

The author＇s preface to A Mélange of Essays by Pi Rixiu（Pizi wensou） refl ects the features of two paradigms of the compilation of ancient anthologies—the record of writers＇ genealogy and the brief preface written for each selection explicating its meaning. Originating from Western Han dynasty classics such as Sima Qian＇s ＂Author＇s Preface to the Historical Records,＂ these two paradigms had shown several variations in the compilation of anthologies after the Tang dynasty. This examination enhances our understanding of the infl uences of the compiling norms of Confucian canon, historical records and miscellaneous writings on the compilation of literary anthologies in later times. It also helps us understand the new paradigmatic variations in the compilation of literary anthologies after the Tang dynasty.
