论唐传奇小说兴起与繁荣的原因

On the Cause of the Rise and Prosperity of the Legendry in Tang Dynasty

唐人"尚奇"、"尚美"、"尚俗"的普遍文化心理,呼唤着一种超越六朝志人、志怪小说的新的文学样式的诞生,而唐代作家普遍具有的嗜奇猎艳、尚美遣兴的审美冲动又使得文学内部滋生了足够的动力。具备了文学发展的内外部因素,唐传奇小说便应运而生并得到了高度的发展。

In Tang Dynasty, the prevailing cultural psychology of advocating wonders, beauty and convention called for the birth of a new literal form to surpass the novels in the previous dynasties. The impulse of appreciation of the beautiful in the writers created enough motive force for literature, and with the internal and external influences, the legendry emerged as the times demanded.
