论他序“知人论世”的文体功能及实现方式

A genre of preface by others and its stylistic functions

古人读书特重"知人论世",在"知人论世"需求与古书不题撰者之间矛盾的演变中,序文(他序)以一种文体形式参与其间,成为儒家经典文本"知人论世"研究成果的保存载体,并最终形成以传人为主的书写模式,正式承担起"知人论世"的文体功能。他序传人的具体写法,很大程度上取决于序文作者与文本作者交往关系的亲疏,还可能受到文本作者知名度的影响。碑志、行状等文体的广泛应用,在一定程度上分担和弱化了他序在传人层面的比重,从而呈现出他序与碑志、行状的积极互动和良性影响。

The preface may be compiled by the author himself,or otherwise by a different person.This genre is recognized a special style of writing to introduce the author and account for the context.The writing of biography depends largely on the relationship between the author and writer of the preface.The extensive resemblance of epitaphs on one＇s preface shows positive interactions between the genres.
