《淮南子》是西汉初年的一部重要著作,历代学者对它的思想主旨、政治功效研究得比较深入,而往往忽略了它文学性中的寓言价值研究。《淮南子》包含了大量的寓言故事,这些寓言有着鲜明的时代特色,这些寓言是对先秦寓言的继承和发展,又为后世寓言提供了材料,很值得我们去研究。本文就是对《淮南子》中的寓言作初步探析。 Huainanzi was an important book in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty. The scholar of the past dynasties deeply studied its ideological and political functions, but often ignored the research on the allegory value in its literary nature. “Huainanzi” contains a large number of fables. These fables have distinctive characteristics of the times. These fables are the inheritance and development of the pre-Qin fable and the materials provided for later parables. They are worth our study. This article is a preliminary analysis of the allegory in Huainanzi.
