摘要
行状是我国古代传记文体之一,其职能随着文体的不同发展阶段而各不相同。在两汉时期,行状具有察举选士的实用功能;魏晋时期则体现了与诔文议谥、述德职能的混同;唐代是文体定型阶段,行状承担了为议谥、作传及撰写墓志铭提供原始材料的作用。
One of the biographical styles in ancient China, the posthumous biography played different roles in its history of development. During the Han Dynasties (206 B.C.-220), it served as the criterion for selecting government officials rather than as posthumous comment of a person. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties (220-420), it was confused with the eulogy of the dead in functioning as the text to discuss a person's posthumous title and recount his moral integrity. The Tang Dynasty (618-907) is the period during which the style was finally shaped, assuming the responsibility of offering the firsthand information to the discussion of posthumous titles, the writing of biographies, and the composition of epitaphs.
