论叔向的文学成就

On Shu Xiang's Literacy Achievement

前人早已提及叔向文学家的身份,然学界对其全面、深入的研究至今阙如。据考证,叔向至迟生于公元前593年,至迟卒于公元前514年。叔向的文学成就主要表现在诗学活动、文章、文论三个方面:诗学活动主要分引诗以明事、诗歌篇章的阐释、诗意的领悟三类,尤其对《昊天有成命》一诗的通盘阐释对后世解《诗》影响较大;在文章层面,主要分书信和辞令,一篇书信结构完整、情辞俱佳;辞令又有外交辞令与论谏辞令,皆具有一定的文体价值;就文论而言,主要是对于言辞的一些看法与观点,如辞尚得体与畅达、信而有征、言不僭礼、言重于貌等,在当时具有一定的通识性。叔向相关的文学素材,多注重德行与礼数的彰显,塑造出一位具有君子风范的文学家形象。
