《西厢记》“主脑”之别论

Another opinion of the main narrative structure in

李渔以"一人一事"为"主脑"的剧情结构理论,突破了戏曲"首重音律"的惯例,揭示了这一文体的基本规律及其艺术蕴藉。然而,李渔以之分析《西厢记》之"主脑"的"一人"为"张君瑞","一事"为"白马解围"的观点,却不尽合乎情理。其实《西厢记》所立"主脑"之"一人"当是"崔莺莺","一事"当是莺莺的"自主择婚",并以此建构"许婚"与"望配"、"赖婚"与"私会"、"改配"与"团圞"的三组二元对立剧情结构。

Li Yu summed up the ＂ one thing and one person＂ theory about plays,which broke out the traditional theory of ＂ rhyme first＂ and revealed the essential rule of play text. But about Xi Xiang Ji,Li thought ＂one person＂ was Zhang Junrui,＂ one things＂ was that ＂ the problem was solved in White Horse Temple＂. It seems unreasonable and I think ＂ one person＂ should be Cui Yingying,＂ one thing＂ should be that ＂Cui Yingying ehoses her husband＂.
