《文心雕龙·通变》“五家如一”平议

The Discussion of the“Five Writers Are the Same”In the Tong Bian of Wen Xin Diao Long

学界对刘勰在《文心雕龙·通变》篇所举汉赋“五家如一”的例子是褒义还是贬义,存在截然不同的看法。通过梳理发现,在20世纪80年代之前,褒义派占主流,之后持贬义的学者逐渐增多,对褒义派形成了挑战。相比较而言,褒义派更合理。这可以从前后文义的贯通、“极”和“终入笼内”等语词、“赞”言的“参古定法”、文学史的演进上等角度获得证明。

There are different opinions on whether Liu Xie’s example of“five writers are the same”in the Tong Bian of Wen Xin Diao Longis positive or negative.Through combing,it is found that before the 1980s,the scholars with the positive view were in the mainstream,and then the number of scholars hold-ing negative meaning gradually increased,which formed a challenge to the positive view.Comparatively speaking,the positive ones are more reasonable.This can be proved from the perspective of the connection between the previous and the following contexts,the words“extreme”and“finally entering the cage”,the reference to ancient methods of determination of the“zan”language,and the evolution of literary history.
