唐传奇《三梦记》的结构渊源及其重写史论

The Structure Origin of Tales of Three Dreams in the Tang Dynasty and Its Rewritten History

《三梦记》的结构在短篇小说发展史上具有突出特点。该文通过一个核心叙事理念将无意义关联的三个叙事断片缀于一体的空间性结构模式,在早期短篇小说结构中极为少见。它的形成,与源于“天人合一”观念的“礼以三为成”的文化传统有潜在关系;又是对古代著作分门纂集体例的移植;并与先秦以来赋体的基本模式有关。后来的唐宋小说对此模式有一定的承袭与变化。

The structure of Tales of Three Dreams is outstandingly characterized in the development history of short novels. This work, by means of a nuclear narration concept, joins three narrative fragments of non - meaningful relevance into an integrated structure model of space, which is rarely founded in the structure of early short novels. Its formation is of latent relationship with the cultural tradition, originated in the ＂Heaven and Man in one＂ concept. It transplants the style of classifying ancient works. It also has much to do with the fundamental model of Rhapsody since the Pre- Qin days. The later novels in the Tang and Song Dynasty has slightly inherited and changed this model.
