功百侯公 纳策鸿沟:以《项羽本纪》“侯公”事管窥刘邦与项羽

Great Feat of Mr. HOU for Offering his Advice on the Ditch Hong:A Restricted View on LIU Bang and XIANG Yu from Mr. Hou’s Narrative in Annals of XIANG Yu

历史上的侯公以纳策鸿沟闻名,划定楚河汉界,功劳甚著而记述甚少。文章对《史记·项羽本纪》所载"侯公"事逐一句解,并借鉴西方接受美学的"文本的召唤结构"理论提出文本中存在的空白、空缺和否定性疑问,在此基础上解读刘邦与项羽的性格特征,管窥楚汉之际的历史风云。

Mr. HOU was famous for offering the advice on the Hong Gou(Ditch Hong), which demarcated the borders of Chu and Han. However, his great contributions were even scarcely recorded in the History. This article closely reads the narrative of Mr. HOU in Annals of XIANG Yu, and draws on the western reception aesthetics theory of "Response-inviting Structure of Text" to raise the blanks, gaps, and negations within the text. Finally, the article interprets LIU Bang and XIANG Yu’s character traits and glimpses the historical situation between Chu and Han.
