Innovation of Expository Preface and"Establishing Style through Text":On the Critical Perspective of Distinguishing Style in Selected Articles for Distinguishing Style
"Distinguishing style"was the main critical method that runs through He Fuzheng's Selected Articles for Distin-guishing Style(文章辨体汇选).He adopted methods such as"omission","rewriting",and"supplementation"to construct the"preface"in a classical way,forming a new preface model.In terms of text selection and arrangement,it was not limited to distinguishing external elements such as genre and form,but followed the hierarchical structure of style,time,and person in se-quence.This approach integrates the traditional"original interpretation and selection"method with innovative practices such as"four-part integration,""self-selected entries,"and"excerpting and paraphrasing,"demonstrating the flexible application of"establishing style through text."His view of"respecting style"was mainly reflected in the inheritance and development of"put-ting system first in writing",while his view of"breaking style"took variation as the norm and other forms as the creative form.Therefore,such insights deepened and improved the practical path and goals of distinguishing style,which has important implica-tions for evaluating stylistic value,analyzing stylistic changes,tracing the evolution of literary forms,and providing exemplary writing models.Consequently,Selected Articles for Distinguishing Style(文章辨体汇选)emerges as a comprehensive collection of literary genres with great significance in the Ming Dynasty.
