以文学的名义:《史记》经典价值的建构——张新科教授《〈史记〉文学经典的建构之路》与《史记》文学研究

In the Name of Literature:Construction of the Classic Value of Records of the Grand Historian——On the Construction of the Literary Classic of Records of the Grand Historian by Professor Zhang Xinke and Literary Research on Records of the Grand Historian

《史记》是司马迁创造的文化奇迹,是第一部纪传体中国古代通史,由于《史记》的问世和影响,史学才冲破传统经学体统,以独立的学科自立于中国古代学术之林。司马迁对前代文化经典的接受塑造了《史记》的文化品格,被鲁迅先生誉为“史家之绝唱,无韵之离骚”。《史记》所开创的叙事体例、语言表达范式、行文风格对后世叙事文学发挥了不可低估的示范性作用,作为文学经典进入世界文化的神圣殿堂。《〈史记〉文学经典的建构之路》一书系统深入地考察了自《史记》问世两千年来“以文学的名义”被接受、认知的文学经典建构之路,沿着这一研究路径,追溯、探索《史记》文学经典化的学术思想史,进而期待《史记》文学研究尤其是《史记》对叙事文学影响的进一步研究。

Records of the Grand Historian is a cultural miracle,created by Sima Qian and the first general history of ancient China,presented in a series of biographies.Because of the advent and influence of Records of the Grand Historian,the historiography has broken through the traditional Confucian classics and established itself as an independent discipline in the ancient Chinese academia.Sima Qian’s acceptance of the cultural classics of the previous generations has shaped the cultural character of Records of the Grand Historian,which has been praised by Mr.Lu Xun as“Records of the Grand Historian by Sima Qian is unprecedented in history and equal to Sorrow in Estrangement by Qu Yuan as to its literary achievement”.The narrative style,the language expression paradigm,and the writing style of Records of the Grand Historian have played an invaluable exemplary role in the narrative literature of the later generations and entered the sacred place of the world culture as a literary classic.On the Construction of the Literary Classic of Records of the Grand Historian by Professor Zhang Xinke has systematically and profoundly explored the accepted and recognized construction of the literary classics in the name of literature since its publication two thousand years before.Along the research path,this paper traces back and explores the history of Chinese academic thought of the literary classic of Records of the Grand Historian and looks forward to its further literary research on its influence on the narrative literature.
