论《淮南子·道应训》的文体形式及其解释特征

On the Stylistic and Explanatory Features of Tao Ying Xun in Huai Nan Tzu

《淮南子·道应训》的体例与传统经传体、经解体和经说体皆有不同,可称为喻解体。喻解体在解释内容上以故事为主,以解述为辅,在形式上具有以一事证一言为结构以“故……曰”为结尾的创作特点。喻解体既是对传统解释文体的继承,也是《淮南子》为满足《道应训》创作目的自主选择的结果。喻解体具有使解释文本简约明白、通俗易懂、有说服力等效果,为人们解释经典提供了值得借鉴的经验。

The style of Tao Ying Xun in Huai Nan Tzu can be called allegorical interpretation,and it is different from any other traditional Confucian classics and the commentaries on them.In terms of explanatory content,allegorical interpretation is based on story,supplemented by explanation.In form,it has a structure containing one story for the interpretation of one saying,usually ending with"So said by…."The allegorical interpretation is not only the inheritance of traditional interpretation style,but also the result of Huai Nan Tzu’s independent choice to realize the purpose of the creating of Tao Ying Xun.Allegorical interpretation has the effect of making the explanatory text concise and clear,easy to understand and persuasive,and it provides us with valuable reference to explain the classics.
