A Study Of Stylistic Theory In "Article Identification And Style Collection"

The research goal of this topic is to sort out the stylistic theory of He Fuzheng’s<Collection Of Articles From Distinguishing Genre>,reveal its rich connotation and distinctive characteristics,summarize the inheritance and development of the previous works in stylistic theory,and highlight its position in the history of ancient stylistic theory In addition,it also enriches the research results of stylistics and provides reference for the current and future research of ancient stylistics.Compared with the other two anthologies of the Ming Dynasty,Wu Na’s <Wen Zhang Bian Ti> and Xu Shizeng’s <Wen Ti Ming Bian>,<Collection Of Articles From Distinguishing Genre> has both inheritance and development: the understanding of Wen breaks through the distinction between narrow sense and broad sense in the poetry and prose anthologies before the Ming Dynasty,and thinks that the pen without rhyme is for writing,which changes from both poetry and prose to only writing;The collection of styles is more extensive and the classification of styles is more detailed;In terms of ranking,<Wen Xuan> is the blueprint;It inherits the tradition of preface theory and sets up preface theory for each style.<Collection Of Articles From Distinguishing Genre> is composed of two parts:selected articles and preface.The selection part includes the types,quantity,order and specific articles.He Fuzheng’s deep and strict sense of hierarchy is shown by his complete variety and large quantity,which is sorted according to the user’s identity and stylistic function,based on the basic sequence of emperors,ministers and scholars,and then the stylistic function as the secondary standard.The preface includes content structure and content source.The elements of the content structure of the preface theory include "function","rules of use","origin and evolution","style characteristics","stylistic differences" and "examples of the text".The content structure of the preface theory is diverse,of which the basic structure is "function + rules of use",and the rest is flexible structure.The content elements of the preface theory have relatively fixed sources,namely Liu Xie’s <Wen Xin Diao Long>,Wu ne’s <Wen Zhang Bian Ti>,and Xu Shizeng’s <Wen Ti Ming Bian>.The preface part shows that He Fuzheng pays attention to the collection and analysis of the ancient style,pays attention to the ancient connotation of the style,and widely includes the historical style in the ancient books,all of which show He Fuzheng’s strong ancient worship thought.Due to the pursuit of a complete variety,<Collection Of Articles From Distinguishing Genre> inevitably brings complicated disadvantages;It pays attention to the practical function of the style,but focuses on the narrative function of the style in the collection;The stylistic order arranged according to the author’s status is in order as a whole,but when it comes to literary style used by literati,it shows partial disorder.
