A Study Of Zou Siming's Wen Xuan You

Wen xuan you is a monograph of commentary critique of Wen xuan compiled by Zou Siming in the Ming Dynasty,publicated in Tianqi two years,which rarely use the version of Bai wen as a master copy.It makes deletion and adjustment of "Zhaoming wen xuan" to a large extent,showing relatively complete and distinct personal literary views and becoming one of the representatives of mature scholar-type commentary critique.Zou Siming,whose style name is Rucheng and hao is Jianwu,born in Wucheng,Zhejiang province(now Huzhou,Zhejiang province),lived from Jiajing to Tianqi period of Ming Dynasty.He loves poetry and prose,especially poetry and calligraphy later in life,letting him join Yi lao xu she society but unfortunately his left work is only a poem and a prose,making us unable to see the whole picture.He summed up the personal literary sentiment,adhering to the heart of teaching the later students and compiling the book Wen xuan you as a beginner's textbook.In addition,the Wangxue thought,the literature retro movement as well as the Ming Dynasty commentary's Wave,all promoted the birth of Wen xuan you.The critical value of Wen xuan you is mainly embodied in two aspects of "election" and "commentary".In deletion and election,Zou Siming uses "the inner emotion,the meaningful word,the brilliant talent" in eight general notices as the standard to deliberately retain various styles in the original book.Its choice practices are described and affirmed in Zhu Guozhen's,Han Jing's and Zou Siming's three preambles.According to the actual proportion of the works and writers in Wen xuan you,it can be seen that Zou widely appreciates various styles of writing,paying attention to the subjective disposition performance and preferring famous masterpieces to ensure the artistic quality of the anthology.Inevitably there are mistakes and omissions,but it basically implements literary standards in general notices and reflects personal views such as innovating in Stability and paying attention to Nigu works.In the commentary,Zou Siming rely on the three-color overprinter technology in the Ming Dynasty,with the division of three-color eyebrow commentary in which Zhu Color comments is to overall assessment,green comments to detailed comments and ink comments to explain the sound and meaning,constructing the comment system of Wen xuan you.Zou's own comments uses Zhirenlunshi,Tuiyuansuliu,vertical and horizontal comparison,image criticism and other methods to fully understand the artistic charm of the works,reflecting the literature tendency of respecting skill and qi.As for citing and transferring others' comments,Zou quotes "Wen Xin Diao Long" and poems to explain Wen xuan,paying attention to the link between the contents and theoretical works of Wen Xuan and later work,to inspire the later scholar's method of study Wen xuan to some extent.At the same time,Zou quotes more comments from masters of Ming Dynasty,absorbing the latest criticism results.Zou Siming's Wen xuan you,compared to Sun Kuang's Wen xuan yue zhu published in the same year,has a high similarity on author and compilation,but it reflect a great difference on some commentary part,letting us see that Zou's criticism has inheritance and originality.As a link in the development chain of scholar-type commentary,Wen xuan you corrects the shortcomings of the predecessors,and has creation to promote the exploration and progress of the scholar's criticism way.The shortcomings,we also have to correctly understand and learn a lesson from it.
