关于《文选》编目次第之“彼此失照”问题——《文选》编次作家“失序”与“彼此失照”现象研究之二

Similar inconsistence in catalogue and sequence in WenXuan(or The Selected Works) has widely been found in the one-author books which were not compiled in haste. Therefore, it is of no essential significance to investigate whether or not the book was compiled by one author and whether it was written in haste. That might not be a problem for the compilers, but proves to be an obvious problem for the researchers. In Luo Hong-kai’s Introduction to WenXuan, similar or more serious problems can be detected, which proves persuasively the point.

关于《文选》编目次第的“失序”问题——《文选》编次作家“失序”与“彼此失照”现象研究之一

《文选》并非仓促成书。《文选》本身的确存在“失序”问题,然这是一种似失而非失的正常的现象,它较为普遍地存在于古今的书文中。因此,据此以考察《文选》是否仓促成书或是否出众人之手,均没有任何实质性的意义。况且,《文选》完成时,萧统仍说“居多暇日”。它只是表明:萧统在编撰是书的具体实践中,只是注意不让作家朝代倒置,而对同一时期的作家之序次则不像其在《序》中说的那么严格:实践与理论,存在着差距。
