汉成帝与文学

Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty and Literature

汉成帝与文学发生过重要关联。首先,他当政期间形成了汉代宫廷独一无二的以刘向、扬雄、班婕妤等为核心的文学创作团队,这些人的创作活动更与他直接相关;其次,汉成帝下令开展的校书活动,对传承古代文学、推动文学发展为功甚巨;第三,他在位期间荒淫艳冶的后宫生活,使得他的形象从史籍走向文学世界,并因此促成了中国最早艳情小说的诞生,对推动后代史传人物向小说角色的过渡产生了深远影响。

Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty had an important relationship with literature. First,during his administration, he formed a unique literary creation team at the court of the Han Dynasty,with Liu Xiang, Yang Xiong and Ban Jieyu as the core. The creative activities of these people were directly related to him. Secondly, the school book activities carried out by Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty were very great for the inheritance of ancient literature and the development of literary science.Third, during the period of his administration, his image went from the historical records to the literary world owing to his salacious life in the back of the palace, and thus contributed to the birth of the earliest erotic novels in China, which had a profound influence on the transition of the historical figures of the later generations to the characters of the novels.
