从明清话本小说考察江南的商业活动

The Jiangnan Regional Business Activities Described in the Huaben Novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties

明清话本小说中所涉及的以江南地区为中心的地域社会大致可分为两个地区:一是所谓的江南地区,二是江南以外的地区社会。当时的江南对其他地区,在经济、社会风气、文化气氛等诸方面都产生了较大的影响,而且具有重要的文学研究价值。这种价值通过此一时期的话本小说可以反映出来。明代末期的地区社会与当时兴盛的商业经济有密切关系,那些商业经济又带动市镇的发展,而居于市镇的小市民就是话本小说中的主角,因此,话本小说能反映出当时市民的普遍的价值观和思想意识。

The Jiangnan region and society described in the Huaben novels of the Ming and Qing dynasties can roughly be divided into two parts ： the Jiangnan region and the region south of Jiangnan. The Jiangnan region at that time not only had a great impact on other regions in economy, society, culture,etc. , but offers us an important value in literature researches, which is reflected in the Huaben novels. The region and society in the late Ming Dynasty was closely related to the prosperous commercial economy, which, in return, promoted the development of cities and towns. The residents of the cities and towns were the main characters in the Huaben novels, and therefore, the Huaben novel can reflect the universal views of value and the ideological consciousness of the city residents in that age.
