任昉《述異記》引兩漢魏晉詩文為注之體例的時代特質與意涵

Era Characteristics and Implications of Writing Style that Quoted Poems from Han and Wei Jin Dynasties as Connotation in Ren Fang's ''Shu Yi Ji''

任昉《述異記》為南朝博物體小說的代表作，除載記殊方異物供讀者鑑識，迎合讀者獵奇逐異的心態，滿足自己逞才炫學的目的外；行文中多引錄相關文獻或交代出處，提高內容的說服力和可信度，也成為其書寫特色。尤其《述異記》的讀者以知識分子為多，彼此有相仿的學識涵養，援引詩文適得拉近作者、作品與讀者的距離，教任昉或欲言說的弦外之音更能被理解。《述異記》以詩文佐證異事異物方式，雖屬有意識的作為，卻也提升了所錄事物的真實感，降低「異」的程度，減緩讀者恐懼不安的心理。益以書中條文及引用詩文以闡述時局動亂下臨危求安的職責，及在死亡威脅中的疏離態度為主，不僅與任昉的閱歷及詩文內涵相合，還能據此證驗其思想主張或作為補充，呼應南朝文人身處時代的觀感見聞，擴大作品的影響範圍及價值意義。

Ren Fang’s“Shu Yi Ji”was the representative work of natural object novels in the Southern dynasties. It recorded exotic objects for readers to identify and pandered readers’mindsets of hunting for bizarre things, which satisfying the author’s purpose of flexing his talents. In addition, the author quoted related literature or detailed the source in his writing, which enhanced the persuasiveness and credibility of the contents and became the characteristic of his writing. In particular, the readers of“Shu Yi Ji”were mostly intellectuals, and they shared similar levels of knowledge and self-cultivation. Therefore, it was appropriate to quote poems to shorten the distance between the work of the author and his readers. Also, the underlying meanings that Ren Fang intended to convey could be more understandable.“Shu Yi Ji”used poems to verify exotic things, and although it was a conscious act, it enhanced the sense of reality of the things it quoted. Also, it reduced the level of“exoticness”and alleviated readers’intranquil mindset. By using articles in the book and quoting poems, it elaborated the duty of seeking safety when facing challenges in troubled times as well as the alienated attitude under the threat of death. It not only corresponded to Ren Fang’s life experience and the connotation of the poems but also served as a basis or complement to verify its thought proposition. This work responded to the perception and experience of the Southern dynasties literati during that time, and expanded the range of influence and meanings of value of the work.
