《霞笺记》与《西楼记》考论

Some Investigations and Comments on Xiajian Ji(《霞笺记》)and Xilou Ji(《西楼记》)

《霞笺记》始以传奇剧体制敷演文言小说《心坚金石传》,易悲剧为喜剧,其得失尚需探讨。惜乎作者姓字不详。《西楼记》作者则为明末清初曲坛大家袁于令。两剧皆取材于青楼妓女与士人之离合悲欢,都在不同程度上曲折地反映出晚明特定时代士人的婚恋观念。

Xiajian Ji （《霞笺记》 ） reproduced the story of an ancient Chinese novel, Xin Jian Jin Shi Zhuan （ 《心坚金石传》） in a legendary drama style and transformed it from a tragedy into a comedy. The gain and loss of Xiajian Ji （ 《霞笺记》） need further discussion. It is a pity that we don＇ t know the author. The author of Xilou Ji （ 《西楼记》 ） is the famous dramatist Yuan Yuling lived between late Ming dynasty and early Qing dynasty. Both dramas, obtained their materials from the stories between prostitutes and scholars, reflect the scholar＇ s attitudes towards marriage and love to some degree in late Ming dynasty.
