杂体、总集与文学史建构——以江淹《杂体诗三十首》为中心

Miscellaneous Imitation,Anthology and Literary Construction——Focusing on 30 Pieces in Miscellaneous Imitation by Jiang Yan

江淹《杂体诗三十首》具有诗学、文学史和文献学的多重创新意义。从结构特点与命题方式来看,江淹此组诗受到谢灵运《拟邺中集》八首的影响,二者都具有总集的属性。在六朝隋唐人看来,总集既有汇总之义,又有总杂之义,既有总集的一面,更有选本的一面。江淹《杂体诗三十首》被收录于《隋书·经籍志》集部总集之下,很好体现了六朝隋唐人对于总集的认识。《杂体诗三十首》与《文选》一样,分别体类,以时为序,并以诗歌选本的方式,表达了江淹独具特色的文学史建构和承先启后的文献学创新。

30 Pieces in Miscellaneous Imitation(Zatishi Sanshi Shou)by Jiang Yan is a creative work in poetic form,literary criticism and bibliographic composition.Its structure and sub-titles were influenced by Xie Lingyun and his The Imitation of Yezhong Ji.Both imitations were in the form of Zong Ji(anthology).To the scholars in medieval China,Zong Ji means the works of completeness as well as the works of miscellaneousness,which referred to a collection of works as well as selection of works.The fact that 30 Pieces in Miscellaneous Imitation was included in the Zongji part in Essay on Bibliography in The History of Sui manifests the conception of Zong Ji in medieval China.30 Pieces in Miscellaneous Imitation could thus be seen as an anthology by Jiang Yan,representing one of his bibliographical innovations.Moreover,it shares some uniqueness with Wen Xuan,the most notable anthology in medieval China,especially in the construction of poetic history.
