Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 1990.

The dissertation adopts a literary-critical approach to analyzing four linked chapters of Ssu-ma Ch'ien's 2nd century B.C.E. Shih chi (Historical Records). Chapters 75-78 of the Shih chi comprise the lieh-chuan biographical narratives for the ssu chun-tzu, or "Four Lords"--Meng-ch'ang of Ch'i, P'ing-yuan of Chao, Hsin-ling of Wei (Prince Wu-chi), and Ch'un-shen of Ch'u, 3rd century B.C.E. contemporaries who have long been considered exemplary models of feudal nobility. Drawing on narrative theories from French Structuralism, Anglo-American "New Narratology," Seymour Chatman's criticism of film narrative, and traditional Chinese aesthetics, the dissertation identifies significant structural elements in the texts and describes the process by which readers learn to judge the moral content of the subjects' actions.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The dissertation adopts a literary-critical approach to analyzing four linked chapters of Ssu-ma Ch'ien's 2nd century B.C.E. Shih chi (Historical Records).

520 $a At the heart of the dissertation is an examination of the compelling relationship between Prince Wu-chi and the gatekeeper Hou Ying, which outlines the distinction between jen-virtue (humankindness) and te-virtue (a psychosocial compulsion to respond to virtuous actions in kind, or "gratitude credit"), and then suggests that even the most virtuous individual is constrained by fate.
520 $a The concluding points are that truly human exemplars are necessarily flawed, but that their very imperfection increases their appeal and accounts for the enduring literary power of the texts.
