摘要:: 日本汉文小说的作者构成以江户时代为界呈现出不同面貌。江户时代之前,其作者多为显贵出身,之后则多为儒学学者和普通文人。这种变化直接影响到了小说题材和描写对象的选择,社会底层的生活因之而受到了更多关注。日本汉文小说的创作宗旨有四:“备修史之料、补史传之阙”; 为治世者及大众提供“守文施治之术”、“修身处世之方”; 与众同乐、彰显风雅; 为学汉语者示以“作文之法”。在文体上,日本汉文小说基本承袭了中国古代小说的所有样式,但以杂记体和传奇体的运用最为普遍和娴熟。

Abstract:: With Edo Period as the watershed, the formation of author groups of Japanese Chinese-character novels presents different pictures. Before the Edo Period, most of the authors were nobles, but after it most of them were Confucian scholars and ordinary literati. Such a change had a direct impact on the materials of the fiction and the selection of descriptive objects. In that case, the life of lower class attracted much more attention. The writing of the Japanese Chinese-character novels was actually motivated by the following four purposes: to prepare materials for writing history and make up for the deficiencies of historical biography; to offer the way of following rules and managing a country and the method of cultivating and conducting oneself in society; to share joys with others and display the social graces; and to show the way of writing novels to Chinese learners. Basically, the Japanese Chinese-character novels inherited all the styles of the Chinese ancient novels and in particular the genres of miscellaneous records and legends.
