Abstract

 

唐代小說一如唐詩在明代被廣泛的模擬、編選和評論,尤其明代印刷出版發達,小說選集刊行盛行,許多唐代小說因此被收錄、流傳。本篇論文企圖探究明代《虞初志》、《續虞初志》、《廣虞初志》等小說選集對唐代小說的選錄和評議。首先聚焦在此三本「虞初」系列選集選錄唐代小說文本的情況,以及彼此之間的衍生現象;其次分析三本「虞初」系列選集在篇題、作者,以及內容文字上與談刻本《太平廣記》的差異,進而揭示此差異在版本上的意義。最後則針對三本「虞初」系列選集對選錄的唐代小說所作之評論,作一探究,嘗試耙梳三本「虞初」系列選集的序跋和評點情況,特別是匯聚眾家序文、評點的凌刻本《虞初志》,進而闡釋其中對唐代小說評論的意蘊。希冀藉由此研究呈現唐代小說在明代的受容和經典化的歷程。

During the Ming dynasty, Tang tales (much like Tang poetry) were widely emulated, selected, edited, and discussed. The rise of printing and publishing during the Ming led to a rapid growth in the compilation and publication of the Tang tales, resulting in their widespread circulation. This article attempts to explore editorial strategies and commentaries on the Tang tales in the following Ming anthologies: Yuchuzhi 虞初志, Xu Yuchuzhi 續虞初志, and Guang Yuchuzhi 廣虞初志. Firstly, it explores the selection of the text of Tang tales in the Yuchu 虞初 series and how they are interrelated. Secondly, it analyzes the distinctions between the Yuchu series and the Tan edition of the Taiping guangji 太平廣記 in terms of titles, authors, and textual content, shedding light on these differences among versions. Finally, it delves into the preface and commentaries of the Yuchu series, particularly the Lin edition Yuchuzhi, which compiles famous literati’s prefaces and commentaries, in order to expound on the profound implications and present the reception and canonization of Tang tales in the Ming dynasty.
