【摘要】 “志怪”一词成为小说范畴内的特定概念，是过程性的、是逐渐演化而成的。志怪这个词最早见于《庄子》,它指向具有怪异性质的知识要素，与“小说”这个词之间不存在任何关联。魏晋南北朝时期，志怪成为某些书籍的题名方式，这些书籍以物妖邪孽为核心构型要素；志怪、小说这两个词语作为书籍的题名，它们之间形成了某种程度的一致性。自唐至明清，述及神妖仙怪之奇事异闻的书籍从各个部类中提取出来，构成了具有整体性的知识模块，这个知识模块逐步与志怪一词对应起来。在这个过程中，志怪与小说这两个词语的关联方式也由平行到交叉，进而演化为交叠、重合，最终形成了子集与总集的关系。志怪成为特定的术语，用来命名小说这套知识统序之下的某个子系统。到了19世纪末20世纪初，志怪一词成为文学术语，用来指称小说这种文体之下的某种文本类型，确认了与小说这个概念之间的从属关系。更多还原

【Abstract】 The word “Zhiguai” has become a specific concept in the category of novels, which is shows a gradually evolved process.The word “Zhiguai” first appeared in Zhuangzi,which pointed to the elements of knowledge with strange nature and had no connection with the word novel.In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, “Zhiguai” became the way of title for some books, and the core elements of these books were monsters and evils.As the title of the book, the two words——“Zhiguai” and novel, have formed a certain degree of consistency between them.From the Tang Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the books about the strange and strange stories of gods and demons were extracted from various departments, forming a holistic knowledge module, which gradually corresponded to the word “Zhiguai”.In this process, the relation between the two words——“Zhiguai” and novel, also changed from parallel to cross, and then evolved to overlap and overlap, and finally formed the relationship between subset and collection.So “Zhiguai” became a specific term to name a subsystem of the intellectual order of the novel.In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the term “Zhiguai” became a literary term to refer to a certain type of text under the genre of fiction, confirming its subordination to the concept of the novel.更多还原
