略论宋元话本志怪题材的类型及其时代特征

On the types and times features of subject matters of tales of mystery and the supernatural in the Song and Yuan Dynasties

宋元话本小说的题材具有明显的时代特征,主要表现为对怪异题材的明显的偏好。话本小说的创作多取材于一般市民的日常生活,并带有明显的志怪色彩。这一方面沿袭了魏晋以来传奇志怪类小说的风气,另一方面呈现出志怪题材扩大化的趋势。这种志怪扩大化的趋势反映出文学的时代性和文学的审美取向。

The subject matters of the story - telling tales in the Song and Yuan Dynasties had obvious times features, which were mainly represented by marked preference for mysterious and supernatural subject matters. They came from the daily life of common people and had obvious mysterious and supernatural color. This inherited the style of romantic mysterious novels passing down since the Weijing Dynasty and showed the tendency of expansion of the mysterious and supernatural tales, which reflected the literary times and aesthetic orientation.
