界定典故多歧义 《辞海》定义应遵循——论典故的定义

A Study on the Definition of Literary Quotation

什么叫典故?一方面,尽管《辞海》对其早有界定。然人们对其定义自有看法,致使典故的定义多达10余种,这些“自有看法”的定义,提出了不少的问题,给人们研究典故开拓了视野、开启了思路,无疑于典故的深入研究大有裨益;另一方面,《辞海》中的“典故”条作为一个条目的定义,它经受了时间的考验,它仍然是一个不失为稳妥的定义,是我们辨别典故、界定典故、运用典故时可以大胆遵循的。

What's literary quotation? On the one hand, although Cihai had distinct definitons in the early times,people still stick to their own views,so literary quotation resulted in more than ten kinds of definition. Those so- called self' view definitions aroused many problems, and widened people's visual field and thought, which benefits further research in the field of literary quotation. On the other hand,the literary quotation in Cihai, as a definition about one item,has experienced time's test and still is a reliable definition.Therefore,we can follow and apply them boldly when we discern and define literary quotations.
