浦起龍《古文眉詮》評選《左傳》析論

An Analysis of Zuo Zhuan with Pu Qi Long’s Gu Wen Mei Quan

清代浦起龍《古文眉詮》是一通代的古文選本，其中《左傳》鈔選錄《左傳》的文章甚多，除了以文學角度評點《左傳》之外，也具體呈顯《左傳》經史之學的學術面向。不僅為後人揭櫫古文正宗仍是以嗣續六經奧旨、闡發先聖義蘊為本務，同時又展現了浦起龍湛於經史的治學路數。其次，浦起龍選文廣收並蓄，多元兼容，具體從造言修辭、文意安頓、氣韻風神等角度，點出《左傳》與後代作家的承變關係，建立一套上自《左傳》、《史記》，下至朱熹、馬端臨的古文發展，前後旁通，總其趨勢。在乾嘉時期，王昶、錢大昕、王鳴盛等人糾舉方苞與其他桐城文家時，浦起龍的古文選本已為批評之先聲。

“Gu Wen Mei Quan”is an anthology of ancient writings containing works through dynasties, in which the“Zuo Zhuan Jing Shi Chao”features a large number of selected passages from the“Zuo Zhuan”, mainly as a literary commentary. Pu Qi Long illustrates the respective academic orientations of Zuo Zhuan’s scriptures, history, and literature, which not only demonstrates his mastery of the subject of scriptures and history, but also illuminates for posterity the fact that the ancient texts of“Zuo Zhuan”remained true to the original purpose of continuing the Six Classics and elucidating the teachings of the previous scholars. Pu selected a wide range of eclectic and diverse texts, identified the relationship between“Zuo Zhuan”and the works of subsequent writers from the perspectives of rhetoric, composition, literary harmony, style expression, and establishing a comprehensive view of the development of ancient texts from“Zuo Zhuan”, Records of the Grand Historian down to Zhu Xi and Ma Duan Lin. During the QianJia period, when Wang Chang, Qian Da Xin, Wang Ming Sheng and others were criticizing Fang Bao and other Tong Cheng literati, Pu Qi Long’s anthology of ancient texts served as a pioneer of criticism.
