怎样把握西门庆其人的社会阶级本质——读《金瓶梅》札记二则

How to Grasp Xi Men-qing and the Essence of His social class——Two Reading Notes on Jin Ping Mei

传统的西门庆形象诠释方法从“人性”、“道德”出发,对人物形象进行单纯的道德评判,认识上的误区说明研究者理论修养上的滞后与缺陷;西门庆是从封建母体中刚刚分娩出来的新兴市民阶级的人物,是大胆进行资本原始积累的新兴市民中的激进分子,是从城关市民中孕育出的早期资产阶级的胚胎;西门庆形象的出现,及时反映了明代中叶新兴市民阶级的勃勃生机和对封建秩序带来的有力冲击与震撼。

Traditionally the image of “Xi Men qing”was annotated from the angle of“human nature”and“morality”,giving the character a simple moral judgement.This misunderstanding indicates the deflection of the researcher's theoretical self cultivation; Xi Men qing was a new born townspeople character of a“feudal mother”,he was one of the radicalists of the new townspeople who boldly made the primitive capital accumulation.He was an early capitalist embryo bred by the new townspeople;The appearance of the image of Xi Men qing timely reflected the vitality of the new townspeople class in the mid Ming Dynesty and the violent impact and shock it brought to the feudal order.
