Text, Metatext and Figure in Liu Xie’s Wen xin diao long: Reading the Xuzhi chapter Dinu Luca Assistant Professor, Department of Chinese Studies, University of Bucharest, Romania The Xuzhi chapter in Liu Xie’s Wen xin diao long WXDL is often privileged by modern researchers; many modern editions discuss it before approaching any other sections of the WXDL, treating it as a key to the understanding of the whole; numerous studies identify the structural patterns of the WXDL according to the divisions advanced by Liu Xie in the Xuzhi; scholars working on Liu Xie’s biography, position in the critical tradition, contribution to the autobiographical genre, etc. also often proceed for here. The essential role of the chapter is summed up by Professor Wang Gengsheng in a recent article like this: “[E]ven if the Xuzhi chapter is the last chapter of the text, it is, however, the most important chapter in the whole book. If scholars want to know the contents of the WXDL, they will have to read the Xuzhi chapter, and they will have to read it first”. This seminar will start from Professor Wang’s statement and raise a series of questions regarding the complex status and position of the Xuzhi chapter within the WXDL and the metatextual tradition it belongs to. These questions will shown to be best answered by acknowledging the existence of inherent dualities that make the Xuzhi chapter both marginal and central, both text and metatext, both within the WXDL and without the WXDL, both within and without the xuwen genre, both ordering and dis-ordering the WXDL and both being ordered and dis-ordered by it , etc. Also, a number of ambiguities will be shown to playfully attempt to articulate a series of superpositions between wen and WXDL, which may point out a way of confronting the non -generic status of the WXDL itself. 劉勰《文心雕龍》中的文本、文本之外，與型態—— 閱讀〈序志〉篇 迪努 羅馬尼亞布加勒斯特大學漢學系助理教授 劉勰《文心雕龍》的〈序志〉篇頗受現代研究者關注；在現今不少出版品中，對〈序志〉的討論，往往優先於其他篇目，將其視為理解全書的關鍵；多數的研究均藉劉勰〈序志〉中進一步對各篇的描述來掌握《文心雕龍》的架構；
