我们在阅读古代文学作品的过程中,经常会遇到左右尊卑的问题:有时“左”为尊,如信陵君“虚左”请侯生(空着左边的位子,让侯生上坐);而有时则右为尊,蔺相如“位在廉颇之右”;还有司马迁不惜笔墨叙述鸿门宴的坐次安排,是何用意?这些都涉及到我国古代左右尊卑的问题,弄清了这些问题,不仅可以“解惑”,而且可以深达其旨。 In the process of reading ancient literary works, we often encounter the problem of inferiority and respect: Sometimes the “Left” is respectful. If you believe the Mausoleum of the Immortality, please leave Hou Sheng (left empty seat, let Housheng sit on it.) ); and sometimes the right is respected, and the prime minister is “right in the right side of Lianpian”; and what is the intention of Sima Qian not to hesitate to describe the sit-down arrangement of the Banquet? These all involve the issue of inferiority and inferiority in ancient China. These problems can not only “dispel confusion” but also achieve its purpose.
