The tradition of early Cifu literature and the legend of the "author":mainly on Sima Xiangru and Song Yu

汉以前的文学作品是以传说为载体流传下来的，传说的中心人物被认为是文学作品的作者。司马相如在战国传统的影响下，被塑造成一个媚俗的英雄形象，表达了民众的愿望，这种形象导致了与《长门赋》相关的传说。甚至传说与“作品”的界限也是模糊不清的，在宋玉那里，“作品”是与后世的文学观念相结合而产生的。汉赋虽然存世不多，但因其与作者的传说有着密切的联系，故能以较为完善的形式保存在史书传记中，并得以流传。我们还编制了日本赋学文献目录，以纵览整个赋学研究。

The literature before the Former Han era was handed down with the legend, and the central figure of the legend was regarded as the author of the literary work. Sima Xiangru was told as a kitschy hero who expressed the popular desire under the influence of the tradition of Warring States, and such image led to the legend related to "Changmen Fu." Even the boundary of legend and a "work" was ambiguous and, in the case of Song Yu, the "work" rather came into existence in conjunction with the literary concept in later ages. Although there are few existing of Fu in the Former Han era, but they are stored in the biography of history books and transmitted in comparatively perfect form, it is because they are also connected with the author's legend.We also made the bibliography on Fu literature studies in Japan, it could survey the whole research in this field.
