敦煌文学写本研究的回顾与展望

The Retrospect and Prospects for the Study of Dunhuang Literary Manuscripts

敦煌藏经洞出土的文学写本,是研究5-11世纪中国文学结集和传播的重要资料。上世纪九十年代之前,学术界主要按文体分类辑录的方式整理研究敦煌文学作品。进入新世纪,用写本学的方法研究敦煌文学写本,渐成为一种自觉。写本学的研究方法,重视写本的物质形态,重视写本全部的信息,把每一个写本当作一个生命体、当作一个文化生态进行探讨。由相互联系的多个文学写本构成的写本群,是研究敦煌文学写本的新的切入点。

The manuscripts unearthed in Dunhuang Grottoes are important materials for the study of the collection and dissemination of Chinese literature during the 5th to the 11th century.Before the 1990s,the academic circles mainly arranged and studied Dunhuang literature works by means of stylistic classification and compilation.Entering the new century,it has become a kind of self-consciousness to study Dunhuang literature manuscripts with the methodology of the study of manuscripts,which attaches importance to the material form and all the information of the manuscripts,and discusses each work as a living organism and a cultural ecology.The variety of manuscripts composed of many interrelated manuscripts are a new cut-in point for the study of Dunhuang manuscripts.
