仿写，是作者以某一部经典作品为参照，模仿其规范的艺术空间，用相同的风格体制、语言风范，不同的故事材料，创作出一部新的作品。它作为一股潜流，一直存在于文学创作史中，经久不衰。在古代文言小说创作领域中，仿写的作品层出不穷，形成了“博物体”、“搜神体”、“世说体”、“笑林体”、“剪灯体”、“聊斋体”等一系列仿作流。尤其是在志人小说领域，一部《世说新语》在历朝历代均有仿者响应，现存约近40种仿书。通过对这一系列仿书的梳理与探究，可以发现仿作在总体上呈现出一种因袭中更加注重新变的趋势，即在分类名目设置方面虽依原著之法，但具体内容各有主张；另在语言风格方面，也逐渐从简洁典雅走向繁琐通俗。《世说新语》的仿作如此之多，一方面当然在于其本身的艺术成就无可超越，成为志人小说最佳经典，另一方面也要注意到历代文人的“慕古逞才”，期冀依托名著而名垂文史的文化心态，当然也有部分出于是“补史”或“发愤著书”的文化心理。在这里还不能忽略的一个重要条件来自社会经济方面，即印刷术的发明和在文化出版方面的应用，为《世说新语》在各时代的传播，以及早期《世说》仿书在后世的传播提供了最基本的必要条件。
