《史记·滑稽列传》选录标准及司马迁不载东方朔之原因

The Selection Standard of Comic Biography in Historical Records and the Reason of Dongfang Shuo Not Recorded by Sima Qian

《史记·滑稽列传》是一篇为滑稽人物立名的类传。司马迁从特定的选录标准出发,舍弃了与他同时期的著名滑稽人物东方朔的事迹材料,而别出心裁地选录三位春秋战国时期的滑稽人物——淳于髡、优孟、优旃,记叙他们形式多样而旨意深刻的讽谏言行,以此表达对正直、善良的讽谏之士的认可。

The Comic Biography in Historical Records specially records the behavior and words of comic characters.Starting from the specific selection criteria,Sima Qian abandoned Dongfang Shuo,a famous comic figure in his period,instead chose three comic characters——Chun Yukun,You Meng and You Zhanin in the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period.Sima Qian described their various implicit sarcasmin order to express his recognition of those people’s integrity.
