摘要： 《文心雕龙·史传》篇提出的“传体”，应视为中国古代叙事学的重要概念，“传体”之“传”既非经传之传，也非纪传之传，而是指由《左传》所开创、由司马迁以及班固等所完善的历史叙事范式，也是文学叙事范式。它要求原始要终，完整地叙述事件的过程，并由此显示事件发生和发展的规律；为了解决长篇叙事中运用倒叙或预叙而产生的“同异难密”“起讫易疏”和“复重”“偏举”的困难，刘勰提示了总会和铨配这两种叙事方法和技巧。将刘勰关于“传体”的论述与现代西方叙事学比照，可以发现中国古典叙事学具有现实意义的丰富内涵。

Abstract: The paper proposes that the mode of "zhuan (chronicle)" writing should be considered as an important literary concept in ancient Chinese narratology. The mode of chronicle refers neither the commentaries on the classics as scripture nor the biographical writings, which have all been using the same Chinese character of "zhuan." The "zhuan" here refers to the literary and historical narrative mode as created in The Chronicles of Zuo and developed and matured by Sima Qian and Ban Gu. In order to resolve the difficulties in long narratives, Liu Xie proposed two narrative techniques of "zonghui (summarization)" and "quanpei (measured arrangement)" in The Litterary Mind and the Carving of Dragons. The paper concludes with a comparison between the "zhuan" mode and contemporary Western narratology and hopes to excavate the modern implications of ancient Chinese narratlogy.

Key words: the mode of chronicle, narrative paradigm, the end of the origin, overall scheme, measured distribution
