"new Order" Research

Xin xu is a historical story collection compiled by Liu xiang in Xihan dynasty.Researches are mostly focused on the document respect,thought respect or types of literature respect.It's relatively weak to study about the special feature of compiling.This thesis is to be based on the text of itself and mainly aims to discuss it's feature of compiling.In this way,the thesis falls into following four parts.Preface is the review on the previous studies made on Xinxu.This reveals the deficiency of the previous relevant studies and promotes the importance of the studies of Xinxu'special feature of the compiling.Part one is a account of the background of Liu Xiang's society and himself.In addition,I will confirm some dubious questions about Xinxu in this part.Part two is an analysis of the text.In this part,I will summarize the the main content of Xinxu and the mode of rebuilding the materials that had been derivated from the former authorities.The content and the mode of rebuilding materials have close relations.Part three is the comparison with history books,argumental books and novels.Through comparison,we can find Xinxu is alike to them but they are not the same.This special feature of compiling has an far-reaching influence on the history of Chinese literature.For example,Xinxu has influernced Shishuoxinyu both in the form and in the content.
