唐人小说中李杨题材的历史眼光

The Historical Viewpoint in the Stories of Lilongji and Yangyuhuai in the Tang Dynasty

唐代小说家笔下的唐玄宗与杨玉环的爱情故事有鲜明的时代特点,与后代作家更关注于李杨爱情本身不同,他们以历史的眼光关注李杨题材,在描写爱情时更注重其产生时的历史背景以及由此带来的严重社会后果,从而提醒人们总结唐王朝由盛而衰的历史教训。

The romance of the Emperor Li Longji and his high-ranked imperial concubine Yang Yuhuan composed by the novelists of Tang Dynasty had borne the imprint of time. Instead of focusing on the love story itself as done by the writers of the following ages, these novelists attached great importance upon the theme of Li-Yangg romance with a unique historic perspective ; in their works, they put much emphasis on the historical background in which the story had happened, and on the immense social impact this imperial love affair had exerted upon the age; thus to give a glimpse of the turbulent age and a historical lesson from the vicissitude of the Tang Dynasty.
