Abstract
《史记》隐含文与文士之观念，从历时性看，汉初邹阳经历从说士到文士之转型，而在此转型过程里，纳一己入《诗》《骚》传统之中，文的审美功能就更凸显出来，此缘于受梁孝王藩国文士枚乘等人之影响，而邹阳一篇《狱中上梁王书》，包含文论史上“文”“笔”之辨中所谓“文”的关键性元素，诸如丽辞、事类等修辞手段之运用，而且由于“文”之音节和谐的要求，促进“文”与“笔”之写作，产生不同概念和路径，邹阳可谓为“文”之自觉道夫先路！
From a diachronic perspective, Zou Yang, a figure of the early Han dynasty, underwent a transformation from a lobbyist to a literatus. Influenced by Mei Sheng, Zou Yang incorporated himself into the tradition of The Book of Songs and The Songs of Chu, emphasizing the aesthetic function of verse. His “A Letter to the King of Liang in Prison” contained the key elements of verse in the distinction between verse and prose, such as the use of rhetorical devices. In addition, as verse required the harmony of syllables, Zou Yang promoted the stylistic distinction between verse and prose, and heralded the self-consciousness of verse writing.
