“礼”与“理”的叛逆——兼论崔莺莺与杜丽娘的抗争形象

The Rebel of Ritual and Principle——On Resistant Image of CUI Ying-ying and the DU Li-niang

《西厢记》中的崔莺莺与《牡丹亭》中的杜丽娘都是冲破封建束缚,追求自由爱情的抗争形象。但二者的反抗对象有所不同:崔莺莺的反叛行为是对封建礼教的抗争,而杜丽娘更多的是对扭曲的"存天理,灭人欲"的理学之叛逆。这种差异昭显出杜丽娘形象所体现出的人性解放与觉醒之时代精神。

CUI Ying-ying in Western chamber and DU Li-niang in Peony Pavilion are the models of whom have broken through the fetter of the feudalism and they long for free love. CUI Ying-ying resisted the feudalism of equal household and arranged marriage. But DU Li-niang more resisted the theory of saving the natural principle and extinguish the human desire of Confucianism. The difference demonstrated the spirit of the human nature liberation and nature awareness of DU Li-niang.
