《水浒传》的早期接受

A Review of the Early Reception of The Water Margin

首先界定早期为嘉靖时期(1522—1566年)。以郭勋和李开先为个案,通过对郭勋刊刻《水浒传》和李开先创作《宝剑记》的深入剖析,揭示了嘉靖时期从上到下大多认为《水浒传》是描写忠义的观点,体现了当时对忠义普遍要求的社会思潮,开后来《水浒》忠义说的先河。

The paper first gives an in-depth analysis of The Water Margin printed by Guo Xung and The Story of Sword written by Li Kaixian, which suggests that people of all social ladders during the reign of Emperor Jiajing （ 1522-1566 ） tend to view The Water Margin as a tale of loyalty. It continues to illustrate that the preference over the novel＇s political value as such is conspicuous in the reception of the literary work much due to the prevailing social trend of thought, and it paves the way for subsequent definition of The Water Margin as a novel themed on loyalty.
