爱情:一种文化关系的建构——《聊斋志异》爱情类型的透视

Love:A Construct of Cultural Relationship——An Investigative Perspective of the Forms of Love in Liaozhaizhiyi

"同心之爱"、"知己之爱"和"至情之爱",是《聊斋志异》着力营构的三种爱情类型,也是作者一力渲染的三种爱情观。它们虽大致上承晚明的"情至论"而来,但在故事的编织上却能自出机杼,发挥酣畅,不仅关注的是形而下的身体欲望,而且更注重对情之精神维度的开掘和文化内涵的发掘。尤其在人物塑造与情节构设上,夹杂着作者独特的人生体验和孤愤,更具感染人心的力量。概而言之,这三种类型实际已将男女之间的情爱关系塑造成了一种"文化关系"。

Liaozhaizhiyi attempted to deal with three types of love, that is, ＂heart-feh love＂, ＂faithful love＂ and ＂true love＂, which were also the author＇ s three views of love affairs. These views of the author＇ s succeeded the view of ＂supreme love＂ in the late Ming Dynasty, but presented the author＇ s individual craftsmanship in organ- ization of stories and his unusual intelligence, which not only showed concern with human physical desire but also stressed spiritual refinement of love and exploitation of cultural connotation. In a word, the three types of love actually portrayed love between man and woman as a ＂cultural relationship＂.
