南戏婚变戏的翻案原因及得失

The Remodeling of Southern Drama: its Causes and Gains and Losses

唐宋以来的科举制使广大下层士人通过科举而登上仕途 ,社会地位的变化产生了富贵易妻的社会现实。早期南戏中的婚变戏以此为题材对负心士子进行猛烈的抨击批判。产生了与主流意识形态相悖的社会效果。婚变戏的翻案体现了封建社会主流文化与市民文化对这一题材的改造及艺术的提高 。

The Imperial Examination starting from Tang and Song dynasties onwards opens the door for the widespread intellectuals of lower class to become officials.But the change of their social status creates the social phenomenon that the newly appointed officials divorce their wives.The marriage plays in the early period of Southern Drama attack violently the betraying husbands, producing social effect contrary to dominating ideology. The remodeling of the marriage plays reflects the reform of this kind of story and the artistic elevation by the feudal mainstream ideology and the citizen's culture. And thus, the characteristics in terms of the thought, the limitations and the art forms of the marriage plays of Southern Drama come into being.
