西夏类书的“世典审取”——《圣立义海》释“天”之源流

The“Examination and Selection of Classics”of Xixia Encyclopedia——Interpretation of the Origin of“Sky”in Shengli Yihan

西夏文类书《圣立义海》效仿中原类书编纂而成,不仅从体例上与《北堂书钞》和《事类赋》等唐宋类书类似,在内容上也尽可能从中原文化中获取要旨。《圣立义海》释“天”的内容即精练了中原类书对文化经典的辑录,又结合了西夏人自己独到的理解,充分体现了民族交往交流交融中文化的影响力。

The Xixia encyclopedia,Shengli Yihan is compiled by imitating encyclopedias in the Central Plains,not only similar in style to encyclopedias in the Tang and Song dynasties,such as Beitiang Shuchao and Shileifu,but also trying to extract the essence from the central plains culture in terms of the content.The comprehensive organization of knowledge in Shengli Yihan is viewed as the learning process regarding observing life,reviewing classics and gain insights into facts.The interpretation of“sky”in Shengli Yihan not only refines the compilation of cultural classics in Central Plains books,but also fully inflecting the influence of culture in ethnic communication and integration by combining the unique understanding of the Xixia people.
