《水浒传》回目的四大瑕疵

On the Flaws in the Chapters of The Water Margins

《水浒传》作为一部著名的中国古典章回小说,其回目具有很高的艺术成就与审美价值,代表了明代中后期章回小说回目创作的最高水平。但不可否认的是,《水浒传》的回目中也存在着明显的不足,如与正文内容不一致、对仗不工稳、斧凿痕迹明显、单调重复且缺乏诗意等,指出这些美中不足,将有利于长篇章回小说艺术日臻完美。

The Water Margin is a famous Chinese Classic Novel. Its chapters have high artistic achievement and aesthetic value.
