The Relationship between Establishing New Genres in Wenxin Diao long and Historical texts
The relationship between the Wenti ( style and genre ) discourse of Wenxin Diaolong and historical texts is a research area that has been relatively overlooked in academia. Liu Xie excavated materials from vast historical books and created many new genres by integrating them. He established the "Fengshan" ( rituals of ascending a mountain to offer sacrifices to Heaven and descending to offer sacrifices to Earth) genre based on The Book of Documents,Historical Records:The Book of Sacrifices to Heaven and Earth,and Historical Records:The Basic Annals of Emperor Qinshihuang. He also created the"Xie"( humorous) and"Yin"( riddle ) genres relying on Historical Records:Biographies of the Humorous and Humorous Stories and History of the Han Dynasty:Biography of Dongfang Shuo. The"Duice"( responses to imperial inquiries) genre was founded based on the stories and texts of imperial examinations for virtuous scholars and literati in historical records. Furthermore,the"Duiwen"( dialogue ) genre was established through the stories and texts of"scholars' misfortune"in biographical records. Historical Texts provided cultural and textual materials to support his establishing genres,and the orthodox stance of historians infiltrated into the construction of his literary genre concepts. Exploring the relationship between Liu Xie's establishing genres and Historical Texts can better reveal the internal mechanism of the Wenti discourse generation in Wenxin Diaolong.
