《韓非子》寓言多獨立成篇,而《呂氏春秋》多尚未獨立成篇,而是夾在散文論述之中。二家並多將寓言作為例證之用,以利其思想、主張,易為人知,易為人行。 今考察兩家寓言題材之比較,就神話而言,有故事化與小說化、歷史化與寓言化之不同。就歷史傳說而言,有批評否定儒墨與肯定讚揚諸子之不同。就民間故事而言,有重間接義、發揮義與直接義、蘊含義之不同。就文人創作而言,有以少總多與以少諷多之不同。深入探析,亦多得其本質、意蘊、內涵、技法等之不同。 二家題材亦多有近似處,就神話而言,並多以神格為中樞,而推演之。就歷史傳說而言,並將歷史史實,加工虛構,以寄託自家之寓意。就民間故事而言,並將民間故事之本意轉化為寓言以寄寓。就文人創作而言,此種題材二家雖並易與傳說、故事相混淆,然而吾人若從其間之用字遣詞、精心構思、藝術造境、精煉生活或發揮想像等予以析評,或亦可得其本真。 是知二家雖多有近似之處,唯細加剖析,亦多得其同工異曲之妙,可謂各擅勝場,實有足資為吾人借鏡者矣。 既明兩家寓言題材之異同及其所以然,則確可釐清兩家風格之迥異與得失之定奪,有助吾人日後從事寓言之討論、賞析、創作、研究之參考,可謂有益後生矣。
