论《聊斋志异》中的商人形象

On Images of Merchants in Liao Zhai Zhi Yi

蒲松龄结合自己的人生际遇,参照明清时期商人的现状和通俗文学作品中的商贾形象,塑造了三类各具特色的商人形象:诚实本分的小贩,道德败坏的奸商,重义轻财的儒商。从这些商贾形象可以看出蒲松龄对商业和商人的认识是正面的,同时,不难发现《聊斋志异》里的商人也具有缺乏自信心、自主性、个性不够鲜明的特点。

Using his own life experience, images of merchants in literary works and reality for reference, PU Song-ling, the author of Liao Zhai Zhi Yi, portrays three types of merchant images： honest dealers, immoral and unscrupulous merchants and scholarly and refined merchants who regard personal loyalty as superior to commercial profits. These images indicate PU Song - ling＇ s positive attitude toward trades and tradesmen as well as the tradesmen＇ s lack of self - confidence, creativity, and sharp personality in Liao Zhai Zhi Yi.
