试析陈其泰《桐花凤阁评〈红楼梦〉》之人物论

About Chen Qitai’s point of views on the character of A Dream of Red Mansions

在《红楼梦》评点史上,清代陈其泰的评点眼光独到,理论意义非同一般。在人物塑造方面,陈其泰提出“瑜亮”论和“伴说”论。“瑜亮”论主张人物刻画在尖锐的矛盾冲突中实现相反相成,一举两得,是对张竹坡“抗衡”论的进一步发展;“伴说”论主张一人为主,他者为宾,以宾者接力的方式完成为主人物的形象塑造,技术内蕴更为广大深厚。在人物品鉴方面,陈其泰以“情”为核心深入性格分析,并从“尽人之性”的高度,得出了妙玉乃"世人意外之人"的惊俗之论。这与晚明以来尤其是清中叶文学领域重新认识妇女、尊情贵生的人文精神有直接联系。
