《聊斋志异》涉商类小说研究

A Research on the Business Novel of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio

《聊斋志异》中有70余篇涉及到了商人和商业活动,这与蒲松龄个人的特殊境遇相关。他是以商贾之事为依托,借用这一特殊的社会角色和人生舞台,寄寓一己独特的文人情怀。他在幻想世界里作自由不羁的心灵畅游,抒写自己怀才不遇、科场失意的悲愤,浇消现实生活中穷厄困苦的压抑与哀愁,也实现着对现状的理性超越,透露出的是一个以经国济世为人生目标却屡困场屋的业儒者难言的悲凉和艰辛的心灵跋涉。

More than 70 novels in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio deal with merchants and commercial activities. This is related with Pu Songling＇s special individual circumstances. Relying on the merchant business, he expressed his literator feelings by using this special social role and life stage. His mind enjoyed a good free swim in the fantasy world. He expressed by writing his grief and indignation of having unrecognized talent and frustration in the imperial examination. He tried to dispel his op- pression and sorrow of poverty in the realistic life and realize the rational surmounting over the actuality. However, what he showed is the unverbalized desolation and hard spiritual trek of a professional scholar who had a great life goal of self-devotion to the country but was trapped in the backyard.
