论《耳食录》志怪幻想的创新特征

On the Creative Characteristics of the Tales of Mysteries and the Supernatural

纵观志怪小说发展的历程,有一条由物到人、不断人格化的轨迹,《耳食录》中则出现了与此方向相反的拟物化模式。以往的志怪幻想大都具有外向性特征,《耳食录》则表现出内向性特征。这些变化在志怪幻想自身的嬗变过程中具有创新价值,它触及和影响了志怪幻想的基本模式和框架,体现了志怪想像在某一方向上的转折。正因为如此,我们不能把《耳食录》当作一般的志怪仿作看待。

Making a general survey of the developing course of the tales of mysteries and the supernatural, there is a math, fi＇om the things to the man, of being continuously personified. There is, however, an opposite model of analogy in Er Shi Lu. Most of the tales of mysteries and the supernatural in the past posses extrovert characteristics, while Er Shi Lu manifests introvert characteristics. These changes in the course of transmutation of the tales of mysteries and the supernatural demonstrate creative values, which touch and influence the essential models and frames of the tales of mysteries and the supernatural, embodying the turn to a certain orientation of the tales of mysteries and the supernatural. Thus we can not regard Er Shi Lu as a common imitation of the tales of mysteries and the supernatural.
