LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.

將《漢書•藝文志》與《文心雕龍》作爲一個文化參照來看中國文學裏的抒情傳統和敍事傳統，此二者完整地存在於這兩種文獻之内，並且屬於不可分離、割裂的關係；從《漢志》所謂“九流十家”，闡發中國抒情與敍事兩大傳統的民族特點，也可與西方形成對照。

The present essay attempts to examine two major traditions in Chinese literature, namely lyricism and narrative, from a cultural perspective based on the “Monograph on Literary Writing” of the Hanshu and the Wenxin diaolong. It argues that these two traditions have a substantial presence in these two sources and that they have an undividable relationship. It also demonstrates the national characteristics of these traditions as seen in the so-called “nine streams and ten schools” in the “Monograph on Literary Writing,” which form a contrast with its counterpart in Western thought.
