唐代序文研究述评

作为古代文学文体之一,序文至唐代有了长足发展,特别是唐人创作的赠序文,文学成就尤高.序文研究过去一直比较薄弱,20世纪80年代以来,学术界对序文尤其是对唐代序文的关注渐多,在研究的深度和广度上均有较大进展.这些研究大抵可概括为专题性研究、史述性研究、赏析性研究、介绍性研究等.虽然还存在一些不足和局限,但就其总体格局而言,则标志着唐代序文研究已经进入新的阶段.

A Review of Research on Preface in Essay Form in the Tang Dynasty

As one of the literary style in ancient time, preface in essay form has made considerable progress in the Tang Dynasty. The preface written when friends parted in the Tang Dynasty was especially remarkable in respect of its literary achievement. The research on preface in essay form has long been a field that is not fully developed. Since the 1980s increasing attention has been diverted to preface in essay form written in the Tang Dynasty among the academic circle and the research is more detailed and comprehensive. Generally speaking,there are the subject research, narrative research, appreciative research and introductory research,etc. Though the research on preface is far from satisfactory and is limited in many ways, in regard to the overall pattern it has entered a new stage.
