清代女曲家王筠考论

The Life and Work of Wang Yun

刊于嘉庆十四年的《西园瓣香集》是清代女曲家王筠及其父王元常、子王百龄的一部诗词合集。本文依据此著,对学界关于王筠婚姻状况的描述提出异议,并认为《繁华梦》的创作反映了王筠在成婚前后的真实心境和复杂情感,是一部内涵丰富的作品。王筠同时亦涉足了戏曲批评领域,她在《西园瓣香集》中的咏剧诗在明清女性的戏曲批评中独具特色,丰富了中国古代的戏曲评论。

This paper draws on evidence from Xi Yuan Ban Xiang Ji, a collection of poems published in the 14th year of the reign of Jiaqing, which consists pieces by Wang Yun, her father Wang Yuanchang, and her son Wang Bailing, to challenge received views about Wang Yuan＇ s married life. It also argues that her play Fan Hua Meng provides an insight into her thoughts and feelings before and after her marriage. The paper also proposes that her comments on classical plays make a significant contribution to dramatic criticism of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
