论《青琐高议》中帝王故事的世俗化倾向

On Secularization Tendency of Emperors' Stories in Qing Suo Gao Yi

北宋文言小说集《青琐高议》所收146篇作品中有16篇是帝王题材的故事。与前代同类作品相比,这些故事的叙事重心由政治劝诫转向了娱乐媚俗,创作方法由纠缠于正史跃进到恣意虚构,语言风格由含蓄蕴藉变为朴野直露。造成宋代帝王故事世俗化转变的原因是:五代以降帝王权威的严重下降、创作主体社会地位与接受主体审美旨趣的变迁、话本小说审美趣味对传奇小说的渗透。

Of the 146 stories in the Northern-Song fiction collection Qing Suo Gao Yi（c.1068-1077） compiled by Liu Fu,16 are about emperors.In contrast with earlier works on the same topic,these stories have shifted their focus of narration from political preachment to popular entertainment;their writing method has evolved from clinging to official history into free fiction,and their language style has changed from implicitness into plain explicitness.The reasons for this process of secularization lie in the decline of emperors＇ authority since the Five Dynasties （907 -979）, the change of the writers＇ social status and the readers＇ aesthetic taste, and the aesthetic influences of story-telling scripts on legend stories.
