论关汉卿戏剧的魂梦情节

Discussion on Dreams of the Dead in Dramas by Guan Han-qing

关汉卿戏剧一个引人注目的地方,是其常用鬼魂梦境来延续情节、敷衍场面。《窦娥冤》、《蝴蝶梦》等均是如此。关汉卿从大众的审美情趣和自己的美学理想出发塑造出来的鬼魂形象与梦兆情节,与一般的宗教迷信不同,它们起到了对人间法制的微弱的监督作用,它们所反映出来的积极的战斗意义,也具有撼人心魄、发人深省的力量。

It was one of the dramatic means Guan Han - qing applied in his dramas that souls in the dreamland were arranged either to continue the plot or to walk through the scene, such as in Injustice of Dou＇ E and Dream of Butterfly. Those images of souls and the plots concerning the omens in the dreams of souls Guan Hanqing created by combining the popular taste and interest and his own esthetical ideal into one differed from those of religion superstitions in general, because they served more or less the function of supervision over the legal system in reality, and the active sense of struggle they reflected was also shocking and thought - provoking.
