论顾恺之《启蒙记》的小说蕴涵

On the Fictional Connotation of Gu Kaizhi′s Book of Enlightenment

顾恺之《启蒙记》于史志目录多著录于经部小学类,王应麟却说杂以虚诞怪妄之说,为史官之末事。马国翰亦说其非训蒙之正体。从现存佚文看,颇有博物和志怪的古小说蕴涵。《启蒙记》纂入虚诞怪妄之说,主要源于顾恺之痴黠的性格和高奇的行事风格,也受到了当时神鬼仙巫之风盛行及束皙《发蒙记》的影响。《启蒙记》端肃雅正的外衣里包裹着丰富的古小说内蕴,不仅打破了子不语怪力乱神的传统,也有力地推动了小说的流传与发展。

Gu kaizhi′s Book of Enlightenment is always collected into classics according to its historical and bibliographical contents,but Wang yingling argues that it can not be regarded as the mainstream of history since fantasy and weird are found in it.Ma Guohan also believes it as the informal style of enlightenment.However,according to the extant literature,the weird fictional connotation can be found.The Book of Enlightenment is collected into the fantastic and weird fictions because of Gu′s smart personality and outstanding behaviors from the contemporary popularity of immortals and ghosts,and The Enlightenment by Shu xi.Gu′s Book of Enlightenment is full of rich connotation of ancient fiction with the form of dignity and elegance,which breaks the tradition of Confucian orthodoxy and pushes the fictional spread and development.
