先秦的策祝仪式及文体特点—兼谈对《左传》中两篇祝辞的看法

《周礼》太祝“六祝”中的策祝多为远罪疾的祈祷，因事出突然、情况特殊，必须举行特别的祈祷祭祀，祝文也应书于简策。《左传》所载荀偃《祷河》和蒯聩《战祷》皆是春秋策祝的代表之作。策祝针对性极强，一事一祝，没有形成常规祝词的陈词滥调，大多采用散文的形式。

The Rites of Praying in Pre-Qin Period and the Style of Writing on Praying-Thought on the Two Essays on Praying in Commentaries on the Spring and Autumn Annals

The writing on praying of Six Pray in Rites of Zhou was a kind of praying to drive off suffering. Special praying must be held when a bad thing happened suddenly and praying should be written on pieces of bamboo. Praying to the Yellow River written by XUN Yan and Praying before the War written by KUAI Kui in Commentaries on the Spring and Autumn Annals were representative works in the Spring and Autumn Period. The writing on praying had strong pertinence and adopted prose form without such platitude as ordinary praying.
