浅论《晋书》与《世说新语》的关系及文体

An investigation of the Textual Relation of Jinshu and Shishuoxinyu

《世说新语》一书主要记载汉末至东晋的士族阶层人物的趣闻轶事,尤详于东晋。《晋书》记载了从司马懿开始到晋恭帝元熙二年为止近二百年的历史。房玄龄等人在修《晋书》的时候,部分条目在一定程度上参考了《世说新语》的内容。长期以来人们将《世说新语》视为小说,确切地讲《世说新语》其实是夹杂失真成分的历史笔记资料。

The anecdotes of 'Shi' class are the main contents of Shishuoxinyu,especially in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The book has thirty-six chapters,such as virtue,language,government affairs,literature etc. Normally,the academia believes the book was written by scholars who were organized by Liu Yiqing. The Jinshu was edited by Fang Xuanling,Chu Suiliang etc. It contains one hundred volumes. The recordation is about two hundreds years from Si Mayi to Jin Gongdi,also including the history of Sixteen Countries Dynasty. Before the book was finished,some contents of Shishuosinyu were quoted by the author. For a long time,scholars considered Shi shuoxinyu as a kind of novel. In fact,the Shi shuoxinyu more resembles a historical book mingled with fake items.
