论“情节整一性”对于“现代戏曲”文体的意义——兼答傅谨《“现代戏曲”与戏曲的现代演变》

On the Significance of “Plot Integrity” to the Style of “Modern Xiqu”: A Response to FU Jin’s Essay “ ‘Modern Xiqu’ and the Modern Evolution of Xiqu”

"现代戏曲"的"现代性"集中地体现在其"情节整一性"的文体原则上,相对于这个文体的形式原则,一切具体作品的"现代"内容都是偶然的。"情节整一性"也是欧洲文艺复兴中形成的drama最重要的文体原则,它的世界观基础是"理性主义"和"个性主义"。"现代戏曲"的"情节整一性"原则从其形成历史上看固然受到西方戏剧的影响,但是归根到底,它也是中国社会现代世界观在戏剧形式上的反映。戏曲的"现代化"便是它的"戏剧(drama)化"。

The“modernity”of“modern Xiqu”is mainly reflected in its stylistic principle of“plot integrity”.In comparison to the stylistic principle concerning its form,the“modern”content of all works is“accidental”.“Plot integrity”is also the most important stylistic principle of theatretaking shape during the European Renaissance.It is philosophically indebted to“rationalism”and“individualism”.Admittedly in the formative stage,the principle of“plot integrity”with“modern theatre”was influenced by Western theatre,but all in all,it is also the reflection of modern world outlook of Chinese society in the form of theatrical practice.In other words,the“modernization”of traditional Chinese Xiqu is its“theatricalization”.
