就《世说新语》看魏晋南北朝的婚姻文化

The marriage culture in the Wei,Jin and the Southern and Northern Dynasties as viewed from Shi Shuo Xin Yu

文学作品总是有意无意地透露着那个时代的一些文化现象。作为志人小说的《世说新语》实际上也是魏晋文化具体而微的一部百科全书。从当时人的言谈举止以及生活琐事中,我们可以窥视到在严格的等级门第婚的外壳下,蕴藏着宽泛而自由的婚姻实质。与此相关联的婚姻中奇特的文化现象——妒性发达,更让我们深思这一时期女性地位的“名高实低”。

Literary works alway reveal some cultural phenomena of that era intentionally or unconsciously. As a novel about trivial matters and manner of speech and behavior, Shi Shuo Xin Yu is also a small but complete encyclopaedia of culture of the Wei and Jin Dynasties actually. As viewed from the trivial matters in daily life and the manner of speech and behavior, we can find its extensive and unrestricted marriage essence under its strict grade and ancestry marriage surface, related to which, growth of jealousy, the special cultural phenomenon in the marriage, makes us ponder deeply over women＇ s social status characterized by being high in name and being low in fact.
