《唐摭言》是研究唐代科举制度最重要的基本典籍之一，《四库全书总目》称是书“述有唐一代贡举之制特详，多史志所未及，其一切杂事，亦足以觇名场之风气，验士习之淳浇，法戒兼陈，可为永鉴，不似他家杂录但记异闻已也”。不仅大量记载了有唐一代科举制度的发展、形态、变迁等史实，还记录了诸多唐五代文人围绕科举的栩栩如生的文学活动，为研究唐代科举制度对当代文人生活、思想、往还以及创作提供了相当丰富的原始文献。本书系作者2004年师从著名唐宋文史学者陈尚君先生攻读博士学位的同题学位论文。2011年被全国社科规划办立项为国家社会科学基金规划课题，2013年6月顺利结题。本书十年磨一剑，可谓作者呕心沥血之作。董乃斌先生评价：“在文献学的基本功方面表现得比较突出”，“中心部分写得相当精彩”。赵昌平先生评价：“做得尤其细致扎实，不但为《唐摭言》的进一步整理提供了很好的基础，而且对于从中国文化的角度研究唐代科举制度，提出了一系列富于启发性的意见。作者在文章中所表现出来的文献功底与严密审慎的研究风格，在我近数年所经目的博士论文中也堪称一流。相信如果对《摭言》作新的整理，本文作者应是合适的人选。”

The "Tang Dynasty" is one of the most important basic texts for the study of the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty, and the "Siku Quanshu General Bibliography" says that it is a book that "describes the special details of the system of tributes in the Tang Dynasty, which is uncovered by many historical records, and all its miscellaneous affairs are also enough to find the atmosphere of the famous field. It not only records a large number of historical facts such as the development, form and change of the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty, but also records the vivid literary activities of many literati of the Tang Dynasty around the imperial examination, which provides quite rich original documents for the study of the Tang Dynasty imperial examination system on the life, thought, return and creation of contemporary literati. This book is the author's dissertation on the same topic in 2004 under the tutelage of Mr. Chen Shangjun, a famous scholar of Tang and Song Dynasty literary history. In 2011, it was approved by the National Social Science Planning Office as a planning project of the National Social Science Foundation, and was successfully completed in June 2013. This book has been sharpened for ten years, which can be described as the author's painstaking work. Mr. Dong Naibin commented: "It is more outstanding in the basic skills of philology" and "the central part is quite wonderful". Mr. Zhao Changping commented: "The work is particularly meticulous and solid, which not only provides a good foundation for the further collation of the Tang Dynasty, but also puts forward a series of enlightening opinions for the study of the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty from the perspective of Chinese culture. The author's literature skills and rigorous research style in this article are also first-class in my doctoral dissertations in recent years. I believe that if a new arrangement is made to the "Words", the author of this article should be a suitable person. ”（AI翻译）
