从金石学到文章学——吴闿生《汉碑文范》选评思想发微

From Epigraphy to Prose Theory: On the Thoughts of Selection and Criticism in Hanbeiwenfan Complied by Wu Kai-sheng

《汉碑文范》是清季民国时期桐城派的重要领袖吴闿生编选的断代碑文选本。是选以宋代洪适的金石学著作《隶释》为蓝本,从文章学的角度观照和衡鉴汉碑,一改宋代以来汉碑研究中的金石学传统,并力纠历代文章之士多以唐宋碑文为法而不甚重视汉碑之偏,颇具创新意义。吴闿生在选本序例及选文评点中,分析了汉碑在文法、文辞、风格等体式方面的特点及其对后世碑文的影响,凸显了汉碑作为碑体之源所具有的文章典范价值。

Hanbeiwenfan is an epigraph selection of Han Dynasty, which was selected and complied by Wu Kai - sheng, the Tongcheng School leader in late Qing Dynasty. On the base of Hongshi＇ s Lishi of Song Dynasty, this selection criticized the Han epigraph in its own prose theory view, changed the epigraphy tradition in Han epigraph study from the Song Dynasty, and also changed the tradition which takes more attention to epigraph of Tang and Song Dynasty than Han Dynasty. In this preface and annotations, Wu Kai - sheng analyzed the features of Han epigraph in terms of grammar, rhetoric, style and its influence on the later epigraph, and also highlighted the value in prose of Hart epigraph as the source of the epigraph .
