摘要: 从“述而不作”(孔子)到“作者之谓圣”(《礼记》)再到“贾谊《过秦论》,发周秦之得失,通古今之滞义,洽以三代之风,润以圣人之化,斯可谓作者矣”(曹丕),从先秦到汉魏之际,中国古代“作者”观呈现一个发生发展的过程。从原因角度看,这一过程与士人阶层社会境遇及身份意识的变化有密切关联,而从结果角度看,则与文学评价标准的变化、文体意识的变化密切相关。中国古代“作者”观发生与演变的历史表明,“作者”这一称谓有着极为丰富的文化蕴涵,是在不同文化语境中被建构起来的概念。

Abstract: The paper examines the development of the concept of "author" in ancient China from the pre-Qin to the Han-Wei Period. The trajectory can be found from Confucius's "explicating without writing down" to the claim that "the authors are too holy to be named" in The Book of Rites, and down to Cao Pi's "Jiayi could be named as a real author [on the basis that] his 'On the Qin's Governance' evaluated Zhou and Qin's merits and demerits, explicated the uninterpreted phenomena, exemplified with the mores from the past three dynasties and illuminated with the sages' teaching." This process, from the perspective of historical reason, was closely related to the literati's changing consciousness of existential context and social status. From the perspective of result, this process is closely associated with the change of literary evaluation criteria and stylistic awareness. The history of the concept of author in ancient China shows that the designation of "author" is a concept constructed in different cultural contexts with extremely rich cultural connotations.

Key words: writing-down, explication, authorship, the view of author
