曲亭马琴读本序跋与李渔戏曲小说论

Prefaces of Kyokutebakin's Novels and Li Yu's View on Dramatics-novels

曲亭马琴基于与李渔相似的人生境遇,以及对其创作才华的钦佩之情,模仿其号自名“蓑笠渔隐”,并由此抒发了执着于小说创作,不顾正统文人讥笑、不愿与世俗为伍的隐逸之志。具体到小说观念方面,曲亭马琴立足于自身的文学标准,在深刻接受李渔“义发劝惩”主张的同时,在“取事凡近”上又与李渔大相径庭。而且,两人在作品中都倾注了巨大心血,马琴甚至模仿李渔在《八犬传》的结尾发出了同样的感慨,这一点亦颇令人深思。

Owing to the similarity of life circumstances and the great admiration for Li Yu＇s remarkable talent of creation, Kyokutebakin imitated Li Yu＇s name and called himself ＂Saritugysoin＂, and expressed his retiring hopes that he would cling to the creation of novels, be fearless of the ridicule of the orthodox scholars and not be willing to be together with the common. When talking about novels, Kyokutebakin stood on his own literature level. He was deeply affected by the moral fiber of Li Yu, while, at the same time, he had a thorough different opinion from Li Yu on the matters in the daily life. What＇s more, both of them poured their blood into their works. Kyokutebakin even imitated Li Yu and declared almost the same dazzle at the end of Hakkenden. which made people contemplate.
