《水浒传》对男性身体形象的美学颠覆

The Aesthetic Subversion of Shui Hu on the Image of Male Body

宋朝以后,由于文化趣味的过度精致与颓废带来了男性身体的集体衰弱,在元明戏剧的推波助澜下,手无缚鸡之力的文弱书生形象成为古代男性身体的经典形象。《水浒传》以虎虎生风、粗犷豪放、充满阳刚之气的李逵式的力量型身体,对这种文弱的书生型的男性身体形象进行了颠覆,将男性身体"阳"的属性张扬得生动而又嚣张。但这种颠覆只是一种美学上的颠覆,是一种审美乌托邦。

Since Song dynasty the over delicate taste and decadence of culture leads to male＇s masculine deterioration. Especially with the back up by the theaters during Yuan and Qing dynasties, the fragile male scholar in those works becomes the typical character . However, Likui in Shui Hu, is on the opposite, he is full of strength, warlike and brave. Therefore, Likui as the character appears in Qing literature is the subversion to the previous aesthetics to the frail male and through whom the mascu- line side of males becomes vivid again. However, this subversion is only the aesthetic Utopia other than in real life.
