出土文献与秦文学研究综述

摘要

Because of the scarcity of handed-down documents, the study of Qin Literature (770B.C.-207B.C.) has been weak for a long time. Since the 20th century, many unearthed documents which were connected with Qin Literature have been found, which aroused great repercussions. Some literary scholars took this chance to combine these unearthed documents with literary study, and they have achieved breakthrough results on poem, myth, and essay. These results cannot only promote the study of Qin literature to a new phase, but also be significant in the future study of Qin literature. Moreover, they even caused the requirement of reconsidering the long lasting saying“there’s no literature during Qin Dynasty”.%因文献匮乏，秦文学（前770—前207年）的研究一直十分薄弱。二十世纪以来，随着考古新发现及其研究的进展，大量与秦文学有关的出土文献不断涌现，引起了学界的极大关注。不少学者抓住这一时代契机，将这些出土文献与秦文学的研究结合起来，在诗歌、神话、散文等方面取得了突破性成果，推动了秦文学研究的发展，对未来秦文学的研究具有重要意义。这也使学界由来已久的“秦世不文”的说法有了重新检讨之必要。
