Research On The Repeated Words Of Huainanzi And Zhuangzi

Huainanzi is regarded as an encyclopedia because of its rich content.And also because it contains a large number of words and phrases found in other books that have been regarded as a patchwork.As a matter of fact,the writing style of Huainanzi is unique,and the literature collected by it serves its ideological theme and is an integral part of each chapter.Because Huainanzi is the most closely related to Taoism,it is necessary to examine the repeated words of Huainanzi and Zhuangzi.The paper is divided into three chapters:Chapter One studies the phenomenon of the repeated words in Huainanzi and Zhuangzi.First of all,the concept of "the repeated words" is defined.The repeated words mean quoting and repeating,and repetition is its essence.There are more than150 repeated sentences,totaling 7,000 words in Huainanzi and Zhuangzi.Secondly,it analyzes the distribution of the repeated words in Huainanzi and Zhuangzi from chapter to chapter,and differentiates some chapters of Zhuangzi based on unearthed documents,and comes to the conclusion that "Rang wang" and "Zeyang" are authentic,"Shuo Jian" is fake,at the same time,"Dao zhi" and "Yu Fu" may be authentic.Chapter two analyzes the paragraphs and sentences in the repeated words of Huainanzi and Zhuangzi.The repeated words in Huainanzi and Zhuangzi are mainly made by simplifying the character story,modifying the order of sentences and picking up various passages.There are some content adaptations of the repeated sentences in Huainanzi and Zhuangzi,mainly simplifying sentences and adjusting words.There are two prominent linguistic phenomena in the repeated words of Huainanzi and Zhuangzi: "Someone said" indicates the style of dialogue in Zhuangzi;The word "gu" placed at the beginning of a sentence has the function of prompting a repeated sentence,and a large number of repeated words follow the word "gu".The third chapter analyzes the fables in the repeated words of Huainanzi and Zhuangzi.Firstly,the concept of "fable" is discussed.The fable in Zhuangzi has two meanings.One is to let others say the author’s point of view,and the other is telling a story with hidden meaning."Nine out of ten are fables,seven out of ten are the repeated words." The repeated words and fables are integrated,some only are in Huainanzi and Zhuangzi,some also are in other pre-Qin literature.Taking the repeated fables in Huainanzi and Zhuangzi as research objects,this paper explores the similarities and differences between them in story presentation and fable structure.In terms of presentation,Zhuangzi is mainly presented indirectly,which is "telling stories",with implied meaning,implicit and euphemistic;Huainanzi is presented directly,telling "stories" with simple and straightforward implications.Structurally,there are fables group in Huainanzi and Zhuangzi,the fables in Zhuangzi are longer and more detailed,the fables in Huainanzi are shorter,which are often used as an argument or proof.
