中国古代小说随着历史文化的发展而不断发生变化,由于各个历史阶段的文化具有不同的特点,从而使不同历史阶段的小说也呈现出各自的鲜明特征。唐前的华夏民族经历了原始宗教文化、卜筮宗教文化、史官文化、儒学文化、佛道玄学文化等几次文化转型,从而对唐前小说产生了重要而广泛的影响。 Chinese ancient novels keep changing with the development of history and culture. Since the cultures of different historical periods have different characteristics, the novels of different historical periods also show their own distinctive features. Before the Tang Dynasty, the Huaxia ethnic group experienced several cultural transformations such as the primitive religious culture, the Buxun religious culture, the historian culture, the Confucianism culture, the Taoist metaphysics culture, and thus had an important and widespread influence on the novels of the Tang Dynasty.
