《淮南子》“多辞博说”的表现形态

The Manifestation of the Many and Various Words of Narration in The Huainanzi

《淮南子·要略》明确说明作者有意采取多为之辞、博为之说的叙述方式,是为了"剖判纯朴,靡散大宗",从而使读者更好地理解文中所讲的道理,使玄奥的道能够通俗化为人们所常见常识的事物。文章从多样的故事形态、细腻丰富的描摹、揽物引类的论述三个角度分析了《淮南子》这种多辞博说的表现形态及其对典籍的继承与发展,以期能够稍稍揭示《淮南子》一书在叙事学方面的成就。

The authors of The Huainanzi, Yaolue purposefully use the many and various words of narration in order to explain ＂Dao＂, so that readers will understand the principle in the text, and make ＂Dao＂ less occult for ordinary people. This paper analyses the many and various words of narration in The Huainanzi as well as its inheritance and development of classical works from three angles： the various story forms, the exquisite and lavish description, and the discussion with various citation, in order to reveal the achievement of The Huainanzi in narratology.
