《世说新语》是中国古代小说早期的代表作品，堪称中古文化的百科全书。本研究将子部小说作品《世说新语》中的汉魏故事与史部文献中的汉魏书写进行对比，探究《世说新语》作为说部文献，与史部文献叙事之间呈现的偏移现象及其形成，探索南朝刘宋时期士人对汉魏时期的认识和想象。
第一章主要讨论《世说》汉魏故事的书写背景。汉魏故事是《世说》的主要内容魏晋名士风流的滥觞。从汉魏到南朝刘宋时期，士人文化心态经历了全方位的重大变动，《世说》编撰者对汉魏士人的情感倾向整体上是积极、正面的。第二章从人物着眼，分析《世说》汉魏故事的选材和书写特点。《世说》人物故事的门类分布和类型特征直观地反映编撰者对所选汉魏人物的认识和塑造方向，在《世说》体例下各门类的起始人物有着重要的典型意义，门类中汉魏人物缺席现象也反映了编撰者对门类题名概念的认知及对人物形象的塑造倾向。从《世说》所选汉魏故事中，选取“文学”家、陈氏荀氏家族以及曹操父子的书写作为个案，说明在不同类型的人物故事的书写中，暗含着刘宋时期的编撰者的独特趣味和心态。第三章从叙事要素的角度，讨论《世说》汉魏叙事中的改写现象。编撰者将刘宋士人的话题植入汉魏故事背景，以两晋甚至刘宋时期的语境书写汉魏人物的语言，对汉魏故事的情节进行了符合编撰意图的改造。《世说》汉魏故事的选材和改写有整体上的规律和倾向，远离实用、倾向趣味，调和儒学和玄学，回避权力斗争，有明确的正统立场，关心人物的品评和优劣。总体而言，编撰者自身的兴趣、文化观念、政治立场等都对《世说》书写产生影响。

As an early representative work of ancient Chinese novels, A New Account of Tales of the World (Shi Shuo Xin Yu) can be regarded as an encyclopedia of medieval culture. This study compares the Han and Wei stories in the novel Shi Shuo Xin Yu and the Han Wei writings in historical documents, and explore the deviation phenomenon and formation between narrative document and historical documents. In order to explore the understanding and imagination of scholars during the Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties towards the Han and Wei period.
The first chapter mainly discusses the writing background of the Han and Wei stories in Shi Shuo. The stories of Han and Wei dynasties are not the main content of Shishuo, but they are the origin of the unconventional ways of scholars in the Wei and Jin dynasties. From the Han and Wei dynasties to the Song dynastiy of the Southern Dynasties, the cultural mentality of scholars underwent significant changes in all aspects. The compilers of Shi Shuo generally had a positive inclination towards the Han and Wei scholars. The second chapter focuses on the characters, and analyzes the material selection and writing characteristics of the Han and Wei stories in Shi Shuo. The category distribution and typical characteristics of the characters and stories in Shi Shuo reflect the compiler's understanding and shaping direction of the selected Han and Wei characters intuitively. Under the style of Shi Shuo, the starting characters of each category have important typical significance. And the absence of Han and Wei characters in each category also reflects the compiler's understanding of the concept of category titles and the tendency to shape character images. From the selected stories of Han and Wei dynasties in Shi Shuo, this study selects the writings of "literary" scholars, the Chen family and the Xun family, as well as Cao-father-and son, as individual cases to illustrate that the writing of different types of character stories implies the unique interests and mentality of compilers during the Song dynasty. The third chapter discusses the rewriting phenomenon in the Han and Wei narratives of Shi Shuo from the perspective of narrative elements. The compiler implanted the topic of Song scholars into the background of the Han and Wei stories, and transforming the plot of the Han and Wei story in line with the compiler's intention. The selection and rewriting of the Han and Wei stories in Shi Shuo have overall patterns and tendencies. Generally, the writing of the Han and Wei stories in Shi shuo stays away from practicality and leans towards fun. Specifically, the writing harmonizes Confucianism and Metaphysics, avoids power struggles, has a clear orthodox stance, and aiming at the character's evaluation. Overall, the compiler’s own interests, cultural beliefs, political stance, and other factors have an impact on the writing of Shi Shuo.
