汉晋“以貌取人”与《世说新语》人物描写

On "Judging One Person by Appearance" in Han and Jin Dynasty and Character Portrayal of Shishuoxinyu

"以貌取人"在汉代成为选官制度,魏晋时期以品评风气广泛盛行,门阀政治、清谈玄学、个体自觉等因素,对这一风气的形成起到了助推作用。《世说新语》之编纂取材集中展现了汉晋名士风貌,书中体现了"以貌取人"之风气,主要表现在《世说新语》之人物描写偏向阴柔之美和文士之美、注重名士神韵刻画等方面。

Appearance became the system of selecting officers in Han Dynasty because judging one＇s behavior was widely popular in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Noble family politics, slight talk about meta- physics as well as self-cognition had furtherpushed this trend. In Shishuoxinyu, the appearances of those people with literary reputation are portrayed and the trend of ＂judging one person by appearance＂ focuses on those people＇s beauty of femininity, beauty of literary, and expression portrayal.
