“新笔记小说”的情节结构透视

On Plot Perspective in New Jottings

“新笔记小说”的情节结构特征是结构松散,无定式,即使用了散点透视的方法,削弱以往情节模式中因果性因素;行文以情趣为根据,削弱以往情节模式中戏剧性因素。这种情节结构具有明显的主观化叙事倾向,体现了中国传统的意向思维特点,它对当时的小说审美观念是一次有力的冲击。

New Jottings are characterized by their loose structures and irregular plot modes. Using scattered perspective weakens the cause-and-effect element, which is marked in traditional plots, and valuing emotions renders the text lack of dramatic constituent, which is the requirement for regular plot types. With prominently objective narration, New Jottings, permeating with emotional thought patterns of old Chinese, was a forceful impact on the aesthetic of novels at that time.
