论立言意识对古代戏曲创作之影响

Influences of the Ideology of Expounding Teachings on Traditional Opera Writing

古代戏曲家立言不朽意识对戏曲创作的影响,主要表现在戏曲家热衷于选择忠孝节义之类的题材,将教化大众作为创作主要目的,相对忽视了戏曲艺术方面的要求;热衷于描写个人遭遇,抒发一己之情,导致了大量案头剧的盛行。在戏曲创作方法上,以诗文为戏曲创作手法的出现、骈俪典雅语言风格的追求、情节因素的弱化和舞台表演意识的淡化,也都是戏曲家立言意识影响下的结果。

Traditional opera writers＇ ideology of expounding teachings in their writings to pursuit immortality produced great influences on traditional opera writing, which was mainly manifested by three facts. Firstly, they usually favored the theme of loyalty and filial piety, moral integrity and justice, regarding cultivating the people as their important purpose of writing, comparatively ignoring the artistic skills. Second, they were interested in writing personal life to express one＇s own feelings, which caused a lot of table operas which cannot be played on the stage. Thirdly, writing opera with poetry, the style of graceful parallelism, and the ignorance of plot and stage performance are all the influences resulted from traditional opera writers＇ ideology of expounding teachings.
