摘要 本文对早期中国文本中常见的旅行谚语进行了分析和类型分析。基于出土和流传文本的例子，并特别关注《国店*语丛 1-3》，本文认为其中一些谚语从一个文本传播到另一个文本，因为它们比其他谚语更容易被记住和传播。就像《Wanderanekdote》和《颂歌》中的诗句一样，这些旅行谚语以交替的形式出现在各种早期文本中。它们之所以被人们铭记，是因为它们对一个重要的哲学问题提供了简短、高度结构化且美观的表达。作为早期中国文化记忆中的共同资源，旅行谚语被改编以满足不同的争论议程，并利用广泛的记忆、互文、联想网络来赋予它们意义。我认为，这些谚语融入论证的不同方式，无论是通过改编还是通过使用定义，揭示了解释策略的差异以及早期作者参与文化记忆的模式的变化。本文的结论对早期收藏的研究以及中国早期作者和读者的概念化具有启示意义。
Abstract This article presents an analysis and a typology of traveling sayings commonly encountered in Early Chinese texts. Building on examples from both excavated and transmitted texts, and focusing on the Guodian *Yucong 1–3 in particular, it argues that some of these sayings travel from text to text because they were more likely to be remembered and transmitted than others. Much like the Wanderanekdote and lines from the Odes, these traveling sayings appear in alternated form across a variety of early texts. They were remembered because they provide a brief, highly structured and esthetically pleasing expression of an important philosophical problem. As a common resource in the cultural memory of Early China, traveling sayings were adapted to meet different argumentative agendas and tapped into a wide network of remembered, intertextual, associations to imbue them with meaning. I argue that the different ways in which these sayings were integrated into arguments, either through adaptation or by using definitions, reveal differences in interpretive strategy and changes in the mode in which early authors engaged with cultural memory. The paper concludes with implications for the study of early collections and the conceptualization of authorship and audience in Early China.
