“中和为道”:《镜花缘》写人论事的隐性尺度

“Taking Neutralization as the Basic Principle”:the Recessive Scale of Characters-describing and Narrative in The Marriage of Flowers in the Mirror

李汝珍在《镜花缘》中披露善恶、美丑之后,不刻意寻求化解对立冲突的方法和途径,他笔下的善与恶、美与丑往往处于并存共生的状态。李汝珍的创作思维隐含着独特的评价尺度,即以儒家的“中和”观念为主导来塑造人物、讲述事件,是可称为“中和为道”。

After disclosing good and evil,beauty and ugliness in The Marriage of Flowers in the Mirror,LI Ruzhen did not deliberately seek ways and means to resolve the conflict of opposites. The good and evil,beauty and ugliness in his writings often coexisted.LI Ruzhen’s creative thinking implies a unique evaluation scale,that is,to shape characters and tell events based on the “mean and harmony”of Confucianism,which can be called“Taking neutralization as the basic principle”.
