The Study Of Huangfu Shi

Huangfu Shi was one of the most important members of Ancient Prose Movement in the mid-Tang Dynasty.He was the follower of the eminent writer Han Yu and hold the "strange style of writing".His writings was appraised highly in his time. Though his fame was lower later, but always the person must be discussed when studing the Ancient Prose Movement.Now,the study on Huangfu Shi is relatively backward compare with that of the other followers of Han Yu such as Li Ao and so on.So this paper carry out an overall study on Huangfu Shi include the chronicle of his life,the edition source of his collection of articles,the thought content of his works,the language characteristic of his works. It has positive significance in deepening the study of Ancient Prose Movement,the study of literators' thought of that time and the study of Han Yu.There are two parts in this paper.The first one studied on Huangfu Shi's lifetime, the editions of his collection of proses, the thought content of his works and the language characteristic of his works. In the second part,we collated and noted his collection of proses.The chapter of his experiences simply outlines the story of his life on the basis of of the productions of the predecessors such as Liu Zhenlun's Textual Criticism of Huangfu Shi's life and Li Qian's Chronicle of Huangfu Shi's life.On the basis of of the productions of the predecessors such as The study on the edition source ofHuangfu Shi's collection of proses by Yao Jishun and The study on the edition source of Huangfu Chizheng's collection of proses by Li Tianming,this paper made some necessary additions and corrections:the Zheng De's edition was not originated from the edition edited in Song Dynasty, the Xiang's reserved transcription was not a copy of the Zheng De's edition but was copied from the edition edited in Song Dynasty and the edition of Si KuQuanShu was not originated from Dai's revised edition but from the Ji Gu Ge's editon and so on.The study on the thought content of Huangfu Shi's works and the language characteristic of his works has always been the blind spot for the academia. The predecessors usually discuss his literary opinion that characterized by holding the "strange style of writing",but hardly discuss other aspects of his thought.So,the third chapter reviewed his thought from three aspects:philosophy, political and literature.His thought was deeply influenced by Han Yu's,and His proses embodied Confucian thought,but Buddhist thought and Taoist thought can also be founded in his works. Huangfu Shi's obscure language in his works was always discussed by the predecessors,but there was no In-depth analysis about it.So the fourth chapter discussed it was his liking to use uncommon words, ancient words,ancient speech..classical allusions and constructing sentences not abide by conventional formed his obscure language,and it was his uncommon sentence pattern,wording and novel parable formed the vigorous style of his works.The second part take the edition of Huangfu Shi's collection of proses in Song dynasty as master copy and other 14 good editions in Ming dynasty and Qing dynasty and his proses in WenYuanYingHua,QuanTangWen,Si KuQuanShu as comparison editions collated and noted his collection of proses.Shortly, Huangfu Shi was an important members of Ancient Prose Movement,he was an stronger follower and supptor of Han Yu at thought and literary creation.Broadly speaking,he was a confucian.As a proser,he hold the "strange style of writing"and his creation embodied distinct personality.He has realized his literary ideal which called "wenqilizheng" to some degrees.
