論『世說新語』的駢語特質及對中古駢文發展的文體意義

Abstract

“Shi Shuo Xin Yu” originated from the language ecological environment during the Liu Song period of the Southern Dynasty, where polysyllabic phrases increased. The book collected a large number of colloquial polysyllabic phrases, and its writing showed a tendency towards colloquialization and decoration of the four or six tone tone. The increase in polysyllabic phrases has also led to their emphasis on duality, broadening the expression techniques of duality, and using rhetorical devices such as “opposing” and “opposing” in multiple places, making the duality characteristics of parallel prose deeply ingrained in people's hearts. The development and changes in the language ecological environment have led to the carving of rhythm, deliberate use of allusions, and precise use of language in “Shishuo Xinyu”, promoting the continuous maturity of parallel prose creation techniques. The light taste and the era atmosphere of Confucianism, Taoism, and metaphysics make the content of this book comprehensive, thereby expanding the scope of parallel prose expression. Therefore, “Shi Shuo Xin Yu” is a link worth deepening research in the development history of medieval parallel prose.
