《史记·项羽本纪》之所以被反复重写,一是司马迁的原文本是一种开放的结构,值得后人反复咀嚼和填充;二是在不同的时代和不同的价值观下,可以从不同的视角看待历史人物和历史事件,也可以对原本忽略的人物和事件进行补充和想象。郭沫若的《楚霸王自杀》是为传统士大夫代言;曹聚仁的《亚父》则是一个被冷落、被抛弃的古代谋士的内心呓语;张爱玲的《霸王别姬》对自己角色和地位有清醒认识的女性的内心独白,是觉醒后的女性对爱情和自身命运的重新认识;
There are two reasons for The biography of XianYu's being rewritten for many times that the original works by Sima Qian has an open structure which attracts people to read and imagine and the historical characters and events can be treated quite differently in different times.Guo Moruo's The committing suicide of XiangYu is a speech of a traditional intellectuals;Cao Juren's Father-in-love is a somniloquy of an abandoned old tactician;Zhang Ailing's Farewell to Yuji,is a soliloquy of a woman who was conscious of her role and position,in which she has a new understanding of love and her fate.
