闻一多整理唐代文献的一般思路及特色

首先,闻一多考辨唐诗与众不同,他从假设性的“叙录”做起,继而厘订诗人年谱,编辑诗人交流录及其著述目录,这既发展了年谱学,又将以上工作融入校正、辨析唐诗之中,为他最后撰写客观翔实、知人论世的唐代诗人评传奠定了基础。闻一多这种由假设和客观分析再到客观综合的整理思路贯穿于他的整个学术生涯。其次,同考辩唐诗,他又进入对唐人著述和唐史的研究：闻一多以目录治学,编制了《见存唐人著述目录》和《研究唐代用书目录举要》,一方面,两部书目各有特色,体例精当;另一方面,他以目录辨章学术、整理唐代文化史料尤富卓识,以上思路为中国文献学科的发展提供了一种新的思维方式,即闻一多所展现的创造性思维方式。

Wen Yiduo's collating thought and Characteristics on the Tang Dynasty's Documentation

First, different from others, Wen Yiduo began his research on Tang poetry with hypothetical" narrative",then collated and stipulated the chronological life of the poets and compiled their record of company and their works,which contributed not only to the development of chronology but also to the rectification and discrimination of the Tang poetry so as to lay the foundation for him to write objective and accurate criticalbiography of the Tang poets.This collating train of thought--from abstract hypothesis to objective analysis,andfinally to objective comprehension--goes through Wen Yiduo's scholarship.Second,what follows Wen Yiduo'sretification of the Tang poetry is his research on the works of the Tang scholars and the Tang history, he compiled A Contemporary Catalogue of the Works by the Tang People and Brief Survey of Hooks for Studying the Tang Dynasty .Both books are characterized with precise and appropriate examples, and the fact that Wen Yi duo carried out rectification and collation of the cultural heritage through compiling catalogues displays his judicious judgement. This collating train of thought provides a creative mode of thinking for the development of bibliography
