“史”尊“说”卑作为集体无意识,规引着中国古人的小说创作与批评活动,并由此形成小说创作中的“史补”目的。“史”采“小说”的激励、以“事”寓“义”的启发,使得小说“史补”长期被局限于“纪事实、探物理、辨疑惑、示劝诫、采风俗”等“史”的框架之下,这固然提高了小说的品位和地位,却也同时影响其虚构、娱乐等审美特征的开发。宋元以后,以“义”传播为大旗,以“史”之局限与不足为突破口,是小说“史补”发展的新方向。这一方向,为小说本身审美娱乐特征的开发提供了可能,拓展了空间,也使得小说本身的艺术个性愈来愈明显。小说灵活通变的性格特征与迂回曲折的发展路径,也在此转型中得到了突出体现。 “History ” respect “say ” humble as a collective unconscious, citing the Chinese ancients novel creation and criticism activities, and thus the formation of novel creation “history ” purpose. Inspired by “Shi ” and “Novel ” in the history, the novel “Shi Bu ” has long been confined to “Ji ’s fact, Doubts, showing exhortations, adopting custom ”“ ”“ ”Under this framework, this has improved the grade and status of fiction, but also affects the development of its aesthetic features such as fictionalization and entertainment at the same time. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, taking the spread of “Yi” as the banner and the limitation and insufficiency of “Shi” as the breakthrough point, it is the new direction for the development of novel “Shi Bu”. This direction has provided the possibility for the development of aesthetic entertainment features in the novel itself, expanded the space and made the artistic personality of the novel itself more and more obvious. The flexible character of the novel and its twists and turns of the development path, but also in this transformation has been highlighted.
