从《情史·情贞》管窥冯梦龙的“情贞”观

Restricted View on Feng Menglong's Emotion and Chastity Concept from History of Love

"贞节"作为理学家所鼓吹的一种专属于女性的美德,简言之就是要求女性保持两性的纯洁与单一。在《情史·情贞》中冯梦龙试图以"情"为中介,批评"贞节"理念对于人性的束缚。但冯梦龙自身对儒家伦理美德的默认,注定他构建"情"与"贞"的蓝图时,往往陷入理学糟粕而不自觉。

As one kind of virtue which belongs to the female advertised by Confucianist scholars, ＂chastity＂ was to request the female to maintain bisexual chasteness and single in short. In History of Love, Feng Menglong tried to modify the old idea. He attempted to use ＂love＂ to harmonize the ＂rationality＂ and cleared up the bondage of female. But as an intellectual of the traditional culture, Feng Menglong also enjoyed the Confucian ethics virtue, so he tried to colligate the contradiction between traditional rules and emotion. For this reason, he couldn＇t have a choice between the new and the old.
