《世说新语》是我国第一部记录人物遗闻轶事的文言志人小说,与现代小说最大的不同是,它没有完整的故事情节,而是采撷了人物在现实生活中的零星片段来记述人物的言行,一般只用数行文字,短的只有三言两语,但人物形象却栩栩如生。明代胡应麟《少室山房笔丛》云:“读其语言,晋人面目气韵,恍然生动,而简约玄澹,真致不穷,古今绝唱也。” “Shi Shuo Xin Yu” is the first Chinese literary novel to record anecdotes about people’s stories. The biggest difference from modern novels is that it does not have a complete storyline, but instead picks up fragmentary figures in real life To describe the words and deeds of people, generally only a few lines of text, short only a few words, but the figure is lifelike. Ming Dynasty Hu Yinglin “Shaoqiyamanshibeng Cong” cloud: “read its language, Jin people face charm, suddenly vivid, and simple Xuan Zang, really not poor, ancient and modern must sing too. ”
