【摘要】 伍子胥作为春秋时代的风云人物,曾引起战国时期史学家和思想家的广泛注意和深刻思考,其故事不仅见录于先秦史籍,而且也见载于诸子著作。与史家记载不同的是,《韩非子》、《吕氏春秋》给伍子胥故事增加了一些新的情节和人物,这不仅丰富了伍子胥故事,而且也使这一历史故事的小说意味愈加浓厚;《荀子》、《庄子》等对于伍子胥形象虽然大多只是简短的点评,并不讲述故事,但都对伍子胥的品格给予了道德评判,形成了伍子胥忠贤、强谏的人物形象。这些引述和评价具有三方面的意义:在思想内容上促使伍子胥的忠臣形象成为后来故事发展的内在灵魂;在表现形式上,推动了伍子胥故事的小说化和文学传播,显示出子书向小说转变的趋向;在文体上,则体现了中国早期小说的某些重要特征,如譬喻故事加议论的叙述模式。更多还原
