《儒林外史》与四大“谴责小说”讽刺视角比较谈

A comparative discussion about satiric perspective in The Scholars and four satiric novels

《儒林外史》与四大"谴责小说"同为清代长篇讽刺小说的代表作,但从二者的讽刺视角来看,前者主要针对儒林科场进行尖锐的讽刺,后者则更多对官场丑行作了有力批判,这种巨大的差异源于清代中后期社会政治、文化制度的变迁。

The Scholars and four satirical novels are masterpieces of long satiric novels in Qing Dynasty. From satiric perspective, the former sharply satirized imperial examination, while the latter severely criticized ugly deeds in officialdom. The differences derived from the changes of social politics and cultural system of middle and late Qing Dynasty.
