论唐代文言小说分类

长期以来 ,文言小说的分类法和类名一直较为混乱。在尊重古人小说观念、小说分类法及类名的基础上 ,唐代文言小说可以先分为志怪、轶事二类 ,再作第二层细分 :志怪分为杂记、杂史杂传、地理博物三类 ;轶事分为逸事、琐言、辨订、箴规四类。在文言小说分类实践中 ,要摒弃一些不准确的分类法和类名 ,逐步建立文言小说的分类体系

Reaserach on Dividing into Types of Fiction in the Tang Dynasty

The classifying methods and names o f Chinese wenyan fiction have been confused for a long time. On the basis of r especting the sense of fictions of the ancients and their classifying methods an d names, I think the wenyan fictions in Tang Dynasty should be divided into two types, zhiguai (about monstrous) and yishi (anecdote), on which foun dation zhiguai should be divided into zaji, zashi, zazhuan , and yishi be divided into yishi, suoyan, bianding (examine and research), zhengui (admonish). In the practice to classify wenyan fiction,we should get rid of some unprice classifying methods and names in order to form a classifying sys tem about it step by step.
