论中唐单篇传奇的文体建构

The Construction of Literary Style of the Individual Chuanqi in the Mid-Tang Dynasty

中唐单篇传奇的出现,确立了传奇体的范式与基本内涵。无论是外在形制还是内在叙事模式,中唐单篇传奇与先唐志怪志人小说、初盛唐传奇小说以及史传文类都有着显著不同。中唐单篇传奇是进士文人显扬笔妙的有意创设,在叙事时空的生活化与私密化中通过细节真实来塑造人物情感与故事逻辑的真实,从而让小说文本情美兼具。因此,中唐单篇传奇在流播过程中其"传奇"作法被文类化,作品也逐渐经典化,进而在现代学术体例草创期建构小说史时被定名为文体概念的传奇体。

The individual chuanqi of the Mid-Tang Dynasty established the model for chuanqi＇s style and its fundamental connotation. In terms of form and narrative pattern, the individual chuanqi of the Mid-Tang Dynasty was different from tales of the miraculous before the Tang Dynasty, early Tang Dynasty chuanqi and historical biographies. The individual chuanqi of the Mid- Tang Dynasty was intentionally created by literati to showcase their literary talent. In the lifelike and intimate narration, real-to- life details helped to shape the reality of characters＇ emotions and story development. In the process of circulation, the writing style of the individual chuanqi became a genre ; at the same time, the works were canonized gradually. As a result, the name for this style was used by modern academics as a concept in the construction of early Chinese fiction history.
