本文旨在比较12世纪拉丁文流行的欧洲地区和中国宋代的书信文化。在这两种文化里,书信都由知识精英所写,用以达到文化和实际沟通的目的。宋朝士大夫群体作为一个庞大和具备深远影响的政治共同体,其内部的书信往来和官僚系统关系密切;欧洲的政治格局比较分裂,文人群体也较分散。在这两种文化中,书信文化有着不同的重要性。宋代的文人文化比较发达,成员在沟通方式上有较多选择,所以书信文化在宋代社会相对没有在中世纪欧洲那么重要。中欧书信文化最突出的差异在于书信的物质性,西欧因为种种原因没有发展出一套书法传统,而中国的通信活动却跟书法艺术密不可分。
The purpose of this article is to compare the epistolary culture of Latin America in the 12th century with the popular European region and China’s Song Dynasty. In both cultures, letters are written by intellectual elites for the purpose of cultural and practical communication. As a large and far-reaching political community, Song Dynasty scholars group has close correspondence with the bureaucratic system. The political situation in Europe is rather divided and the literati groups are also more dispersed. In both cultures, the letter culture has a different significance. The literati culture in the Song Dynasty was relatively developed, and members had more choices in the way of communication. Therefore, the epistolary culture in the Song Dynasty was relatively less important in medieval Europe. The most prominent difference between CEIBS and CEIBS lies in the material nature of correspondence. For a variety of reasons, Western Europe has not developed a set of calligraphic traditions. However, China’s communications activities are inextricably linked with calligraphy.
