邯郸淳《笑林》研究与辑校漫议

On the Research and Editing of HANDAN Chun’s Xiaolin

三国时期邯郸淳撰写的《笑林》是我国现存最早、最完整的笑话专集,代表了当时谐谑文学的最高水平,对后世产生了重要影响。《三国志》《隋书·经籍志》等书中俱有相关记载。《笑林》一书大部分亡佚,有近30则故事流传下来。后世研究者对于《笑林》的研究主要集中在下面几个方面:作者邯郸淳的生卒年及生平活动;《笑林》撰写年代及流传版本考订;《笑林》作为文学自觉的产物,受时代风气和时代环境的影响。

“Xiaolin”(Jokes in Han Dynasty) written by HANDAN Chun is the oldest and completed collection of jokes which represents the highest level of funny literature and has great influences on the later literature in China. The related records can be found in “The History of Three Kingdo ms” and “The Records of Sui Dynasty”. However, most of stories in the book are missing and only 30 stories are left. The later research mainly focuses on the author HANDAN Chun, the written time and versions.
