摘要
中国小说史上战国至六朝时期的早期小说观念 ,并不是一个文学性文体概念 ,甚至也不是一个纯粹的文体概念 ,只能说是一个准文体概念。它只是一般地揭示了“小说”、“道听途说”、“丛残小语”的特性 ,而缺乏对文体要素的明确规定。早期小说的功能观表现为伦理功能、政治功能、知识功能和娱乐审美功能四个方面。科学界定小说概念 ,应遵循四个原则 ,即叙事原则、虚构原则、形象原则和体制原则。
In Chinese novel history, the concept of novels from the Warring States to the Six Dynasties is only a quasi-style ,rather than a literary style or a mere style. It simply illustrates the general characteristics of “story”, “hearsay” and “trivial comments” without a definition of the key elements in style. The early novel has four basic functions, namely, the function of ethics,the function of politics, the function of recognition as well as the function of recreation and aesthetics.A scientific definition of novels should conform to four principles, i.e.,the principle of narration, the principle of fiction, the principle of characterization and the principle of structure.
