The Writing Patterns and Structural Functions of Prefaces in Pre-Tang Anthologies
ZHAI Xinming,LIU Yang (School of Chinese Language and Literature,Hunan University,Changsha 4loo82,China)
Abstract:The prefaces to anthologies compiled during the pre-Tang period can be divided into two distinct categories: those to selected anthologies (e. g.,Preface to Wenxuan,Preface to Yutai Xinyong， Preface to Hongmingji),and those to event-based anthologies (e.g.,Preface to Jingu Poems,Preface to Lantingji). In terms of writing patterns,these prefaces comprise three components:writing premises,selection criteria,and anthology information.For selected anthologies,prefaces establish writing premises by tracing the historical evolution of literary,thereby situating the anthology within its compilation context. In contrast,prefaces to event-based anthologies prioritize the narration of social gatherings,foregrounding the immediacy of the event itself. Selection criteria are primarily reflected in prefaces to selected anthologies,where the deliberate inclusion and exclusion of specific texts serves to assert the editors’editorial authority and literary ideals.Meanwhile,anthology information in such prefaces meticulously records titles, volume numbers,and editorial principles,demonstrating adherence to the anthology's material compilation. Conversely,anthology information in prefaces to event-based anthologies remain relatively vague and frequently give way to literary discourses such as philosophical reflection or lyrical expressions,thereby transcending the material confines of textual compilation to achieve discursive autonomy. Corresponding to the causation,process,and outcome of anthology compilation,these three components collectively realize the structural formation of anthologies in both material and theoretical dimensions.
