“前《五经》时代”的文本思维与文本诞生

Thinking and Birth of Texts in the Pre-Five Classics Age

作为经典文本的《五经》之后,是中国古代文本的不断发展时代,而"前《五经》时代"则存在一定的文本形式与文本思维。从文本的物质形式看,文本有物质性、传统型两种形式;从文本产生、发展的角度看,文本有口述、"口述—图像"过渡、符号三种形式。夏、商与西周早期人,具有前后一贯、持续沿袭的思维模式或语言表述方式。而假定意义上的"第一个"文本诞生之后,给人类生活带来了巨大的改变,这是"作品"概念所无法替代的。

Chinese ancient texts have been developing after Five Classics(五经)came into being,but there were some texts’ form and texts’ thinking during the Pre-Five Classics Age.The texts had two forms that could be called physical natural texts and traditional texts according to texts’ physical form,however,there were three forms called oral texts,the oral-image transition texts and signs according to texts’ beginning and development.The people in Xia,Shang and early Xi Zhou had consistent thinking forms and language skills.The birth of “the first” text changed the lives of people a lot,which could not be replaced by works.
