摘要: “书事”文体起源于唐宋,作为相对独立的文体归附于“题跋”“杂著”,与笔记杂著存在诸多相通之处,大多为缘事而生发议论、寄予感慨,少部分以记述人物、事件为主,其命名主要借鉴史学概念,也受到“书事”诗影响。明清“书事”创作兴盛,发展成为完全独立的文体,叙事性大增,绝大部分作品以记述人物、事件为主,篇幅普遍增长,人物类型和取材倾向与传体文相近。“书事”作为集部最为自由灵活的叙事文体之一,与杂记文特别是“记某某事”者关系十分密切,也在载录人物琐细轶事、具有浓厚“小说”意味、相互取材等方面与笔记体小说相通、混杂。

Abstract: Shushi (literally, writing miscellanea), a form of narrative writing, emerged since the Tang and Song dynasties as a relatively independent genre affiliated to “titles and postscripts” and “miscellaneous writing.” It shared commonalities with miscellaneous notes and writings, as they all consisted of comments and critiques on events, with some precisely narrating about individuals and occurrences. The term shushi was influenced by conceptualizations in historical studies and the genre of “narrative poems.” During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the production of shushi flourished to the extent that it evolved into a distinct genre characterized by strong narrative elements. The majority of shushi writings focused on narrating about people and events. These writings began to increase in length, and their inclination toward depicting figures and selecting resources became akin to biographical genres. As one of the most adaptable genres in the Ji sector of classical writings, shushi had strong connection with miscellaneous writings that were “narrations about certain events.” In terms of meticulously recording individuals and engaging with fiction, it also shared many correlations with the fictional essays that originated in the Wei-Jin dynasties.
