先秦散文分为两种,历史散文和诸子散文。 前者包括《左传》《国语》《战国策》等历史著作; 后者是儒、墨、道、法等学派的文章,其中如《论语》《墨子》《孟子》等,是孔丘、墨翟、孟轲的弟子对其师言行的记录,《庄子》《荀子》《韩非子》等则为本人的著作。 先秦散文是中国散文的发轫。主要保存在《尚书》、《春秋》、《左传》、《国语》和《战国策》中。包括《左传》、《国语》等先秦叙事散文和《论语》、《庄子》等先秦说理散文。先秦时期,文学与非文学的界限还不分明。当时的散文,只能说是与韵文相对的一种文体,基本上是哲学、政治、伦理、历史方面的论说文和记叙文,但由于它们具有较强的文学性,在中国文学的发展中产生过很大影响,因而被视为先秦文学的一个重要组成部分。 分类 先秦散文分为两大类:一类是历史散文,一类是诸子散文。 一般地说,历史散文并不属于文学的范畴。由于先秦时期纯文学散文尚未出现,而历史著作中的文字叙事、写人非常生动、形象,语言也富于文采,对后世文学创作产生了深远的影响,所以先秦的历史散文可以说是文学性较强的散文。先秦的历史散文,文学性不强的《尚书》、《春秋》可以不论,而以《左传》、《国语》、《战国策》为其代表。《左传》也称《春秋左氏传》或《左氏春秋》,与之并存的还有齐人公羊高的《春秋公羊传》,鲁人谷梁赤的《春秋谷梁传》,合称"春秋三传"。《左传》仿照《春秋》用鲁国国君的世次编年,是一部自成体系的独立完整的历史著作。成书于战国初期,据说作者是鲁国史官左丘明,全书近二十万字,全面记载了春秋时代各国的政治、军事、外交、文化等多方面的活动。 历史散文 历史散文分为编年体、纪传体、纪事本末体、国别体。史书又分为通史和断代史。 我国的史官建制很早,按周代的制度,有大史、小史、左史、右史等职位。《汉书·艺文志》记载"左史记言,右史记事,事为《春秋》,言为《尚书》"《尚书》记载了商周君王对臣民发布的各种政令,文辞简练。《春秋》是鲁国的编年史,记事严谨,语言精炼。 先秦历史故事应该说真正具有文学价值的历史著作,产生于春秋战国时代,《左传》、《国语》、《战国策》等是其代表。 《左传》是《春秋左氏传》的简称,是用历史事实来解释《春秋》的著作,相传为鲁国史官左丘明所作。《春秋》是概括的记述历史,而《左传》则详细的记载事件本末细节,此书丰富多彩,叙述了春秋时期各诸侯国政治、军事、外交等方面的情况和历史人物的言行。 《左传》擅长战争描写,它不仅把纷繁复杂的战争有条理的叙述出来,并且从大处着眼,通过人物对话,写出战争的性质,决定胜败的因素等内容。《曹刿论战》和《秦晋肴之战》等篇,都写得非常出色。 《国语》是战国时代出现的一种国别史,记载周王朝和诸侯各国的大事。它的思想性和艺术性远不及《左传》,然而它有的叙事比《左传》更鲜明生动,如写"厉王弭谤"和"勾践复国"的文字。 《战国策》记述的基本上是战国时期谋臣纵横捭阖的谋略和辞说,它的文风是剧谈雄辩,书中还刻画了许多生动的人物形象。例如写唐且出使秦国,唐且与秦王谈起"布衣之怒",秦王轻淡的说,布衣之怒不过"免冠徒跣,以头抢地尔。"唐且慷慨陈词:"此庸夫之怒,非士之怒。夫专诸之刺王僚也,彗星袭月,聂政之刺……"说完,拔剑而起,这一番慷慨豪壮的言辞,打掉了秦王不可一世的凌人盛气。 《战国策》中的纵横家辩士,还擅长运用寓言进行说理、论证,象狐假虎威、画蛇添足等成语故事,都出自《战国策》。 《左传》和《战国策》对后世的散文家有着深刻影响 。司马迁的《史记》,曾经大量采用这两书的材料,并汲取了它们的写作技巧和语言风格。汉代贾谊、晁错等人的政论文章,其雄辩风格得之于这两书也很多。历代史书的编撰,以至唐宋散文家的记叙文,在语言和表现方法上,也都受到先秦散文的影响。 诸子散文 春秋之末,王权衰落,诸侯崛起,天下纷争。与之相应,官失其守,礼崩乐坏,士阶层蔚然勃兴,私学兴起,私家著述相继出现。到战国时,百家争鸣,诸子横议,著书立说,蔚为风尚。据《汉书·艺文志》载,当时主要诸子有儒、道、阴阳、法、名、墨、纵横、农、杂、小说家十家。先秦诸子指的就是这一时期诸子百家阐述各自对自然对社会不同观点和主张的哲理性著作。 先秦诸子散文的发展,可分为三个阶段。春秋末、战国初为第一阶段,代表作有《论语》、《墨子》,文章多为语录体,或为简明的议论短章;战国中期为第二阶段,代表作是《孟子》、《庄子》,文章逐渐由语录体发展为对话式论辩文与专题论文;战国后期为第三个阶段,《荀子》、《韩非子》是其代表作,其文章基本上都是宏篇巨制的专题论文,完善了论说文的体制。 先秦诸子具有鲜明的特点。思想上,它们都坚持独立思考,各抒己见,放言无惮。如孔子提倡仁义礼乐,墨子主张兼爱尚贤,庄子主张自然无为,韩非子则大倡法术势。文风上,诸子各具个性和风格。如《论语》简括平易、迂徐含蓄,《墨子》质朴明快、善于类推,《孟子》气势恢宏、辞锋雄辩,《庄子》汪洋恣肆、文思奇幻,《荀子》浑厚缜密、比喻繁富,《韩非子》严峻峭拔、论辩透辟。语言上,它们都善用比兴,深于取象。如《庄子》"寓言十九",引物连类,取象之深厚,为诸子之最。文体发展上,先秦诸子散文首先确立了论说文的体制。从语录体的有观点无论证,到论点明确、论据充分、逻辑严密、结构完整的专题论说文,显示了我国论说文发展的大致风貌。此外,先秦诸子散文中一些故事叙述,颇类小说,为后世的叙事文学提供了营养。 先秦诸子散文,在思想和创作上,对我国几千年来的政治制度、文化艺术等各方面等都产生了极为深远影响。

Of past dynasties history make up write, the narrative of proser of the Song Dynasty of down to the Tang Dynasty, on language and expressional method, also get first the influence of essay of the Qin Dynasty. The end of age of Zhu Zi essay, crown be on the wane, vassal rise abruptly, the world dispute.
