Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the processes of stylistic codification and formation of stylistic norms on the example of one of the key works in this field of philology “Dian Lun. Lun Wen” (“典 论. 论文”, literally “A Treatise on the Classics. A Discourse on Literature”) under Cao Pi (曹丕). Methodologically important for the study are the principles that the stylistic codification of the ancient Chinese language formed its original system of traditional stylistic means and functional styles, but the text forms became the foundation for the development of stylistics as a separate philological branch. The forms of the text and the functions assigned to them appeared under the influence of cultural and social factors. The article provides evidence of the traditions of heredity in the processes of stylistic codification, examines in detail the relationship between the works that formed the traditions of the style of the ancient Chinese language and introduced the processes of stylistic codification. In the essay “Dian Lun. Lun wen”, the basic concepts are analyzed and the dynamics of the development of the processes of the ancient Chinese language stylistic codification are studied. The historical and comparative research format used in the article allows one to argue the fact that the choice of carriers of stylistic codification, on the one hand, depended on the influence of already established ideas about stylistics, which were reflected in previous philological works, and on the other hand, the change in stylistic concepts occurred under influence of extralinguistic factors. Essay “Dian Lun. Lun wen” was the impetus for the further development of stylistic phenomena, the formation of traditional forms of the test, influenced the introduction of the stylistic norm of both ancient and modern Chinese, and introduced the tradition of fixing and assigning their main emotional characteristics to text forms, that is, the pathos of the story for the formation of not only stylistic, but also literary research traditions.
