Секция VIII 360 XXX Международный Конгресс по источниковедению и историографии стран Азии и Африки Ekaterina Yu. Knorozova (FAAS, St Petersburg University, St Petersburg) Revisiting major forms of traditional Vietnamese narrative prose « tieu thuyet » Major forms of traditional Vietnamese narrative prose « tieu thuyet » (Chinese xiao shuo ) appeared in Vietnam in the XVIII century. A certain similarity with the European genre of the novel can be seen. Unlike other countries of the Far Eastern cultural area, in Vietnam traditional novels were only historical, and there were no domestic, adventure stories. The term of the Chinese historiography « yi tong zhi » (Vietnamese nhat thong chi ) — an «overall description», used in historical and geographical descriptions of « fang zhi» — is used in the title of one of the first Vietnamese novels — «Overall Description of the Le Dynasty» (Hoang Le nhat thong chi) (XVIII century). The appearance of the book created by Ngo Thi Chi, Ngo Thi Nham and other authors of the Ngo family, marked the birth of a new genre in Vietnamese prose. The basis of this work were events, which were modern for the authors and associated with the Tay Son uprising (1788–1802), the fall of the Chin princes and the Le dynasty (1428–1788), while Chinese chronicle novels, as noted by B. L. Riftin 1 , usually drew stories from distant times. E. Gaspardone notes that this work is not a historical and geographical description, as one might think while looking at its title, and reminds another Vietnamese historical novel «Notes on the Rise of the Imperial Viet” (Hoang Viet long hung chi), written by Ngo Giap Dau in 1904 2 . Another Vietnamese novel of the late XVIII century — beginning of the XIX century «Springs andAutumns of Viet Lam» (Viet Lam xuan thu) by Vu Xuan Mai, which tells about the fall of the Ho dynasty, the struggle against the Chinese invaders and the liberation of the country (beginning of the XV century), is marked with the phrase «springs and autumns» (Vietnamese xuan thu , Chinese chun qiu ). In ancient China, the chronicles of kingdoms were called «Chunqiu» — «Springs and Autumns». The chronicle of the kingdom of Lu (722–481 BC), which went down in history of the Chinese culture under its species name «Chunqiu», played the greatest role in the development of the Chinese historiographic tradition. Its authorship is usually attributed to Confucius. Chunqiuxue — the School of «Springs andAutumns»— is a direction in the Chinese historiography of the X–XII centuries. In 1914–1917, the famous Vietnamese politician and writer Phan Boi Chau (1867–1940) wrote the historical novel «Chung Quang’s Sincere Story» (Trung Quang tam su). The work was written in the framework of the traditional literature in hanwan . The action of the book takes place at the beginning of the XV century, 1 Riftin B.
