A Study of the Ancient Prose Selector’s Selection, the Criticism, and the Influence of Su Shi’s Prose in the Southern Song Dynasty

在科举考试的刺激下,南宋古文选家吕祖谦、楼昉、周应龙、谢枋得等检择出苏轼文中以历史人物论为主的篇目并施以评点。通过这种方式,他们揭示出苏文立意追求新巧奇险与行文富于转折波澜的特点,使得士子可以在研习苏文的过程中领悟时文写作的技法,从而在苏文与时文之间搭建起了一道桥梁。选家的编选与评点对于扩大苏文在南宋科场中的影响有重要作用,但同时也在一定程度上限制了士子对苏文的理解。
