明代社会的一面多棱镜——《金瓶梅》中二药商析

A Many-faceted Mirror in the Ming Society——Analysing Two Druggist in Jin Ping Mei

《金瓶梅》是我国第一部以当时的社会现实生活为题材的长篇小说,小说以明代广阔的社会生活为背景,刻画了一大批生活常人舞台上的众多人物,在这异彩纷呈的人物画廊中,西门庆、蒋竹山有着特殊的美学意义,尽管这二个人物根本不在一个美学层面上,但却有一个共同点,就是均为“药商”。本文以小说文本为依据,较为全面地分析这二个人物形象,认为西门庆是原始资本罪恶积累的奸商,蒋竹山是道德伦理全面崩溃的小商。而正是这样众多的典型人物形象,使《金瓶梅》人如一面多棱镜,全面深刻地揭示出当时社会生活本质的东西。

Jin Ping Mei is the first novel whose subject is the social actual life at that time in China.The novel is back on social life in Ming Dynasty,portraying many people living on the stage of ordinary people.Xi Menqing and Jiang Zhushan have special esthetic significance.Although they aren't at the same esthetic level at all,they have the common ground that they are both 'druggist'.According to the novel,this paper analyses these two images,considering that Xi Menqing is a profiteer who accumulates primitive capital,while Jiang Zhushan is a huckster whose morals and ethics collapse completely.These typical images make the people in Jin Ping Mei like a many-faceted mirror,comprehensively and deeply revealing the intrinsic things in social life at that time.
