极骇人之事 极近人之笔——《水浒传》传奇性解读

Interpretation of Romance of All Men Are Brothers

《水浒传》的传奇性具有鲜明而独特的特色:写极骇人之事,却尽用极近人之笔。所谓“极骇人之事”,就是采用夸张渲染的艺术手法叙事写人,以突出人物超现实的神与奇;所谓“极近人之笔”,就是一种写实,即在渲染人物超人、超现实的行为时,以表现其真实心理。这一特色在中国古代小说、小说理论的发展中具有极高的美学价值和理论意义。

The romance of All Men Are Brothers while using rhetoric techniques pretty close to human, has a distinguishing feature：Narrating appalling events Narrating appalling events means to adopt hyperbolic artislic technique to marrate so as to give prominence to the surrealistic supernatural of characters; Using rhetoric techniques pretty close to human means to write realistically for exaggerating the surrealistic behavior of characters to display their real psychology. This feature is of pretty high aesthetic value and theoretical meanings in the developing history of Chinese classical novels and novelistic theory.
