论《牡丹亭》的人物格局和矛盾冲突设置

Study on Characters' Setting and Contradictions and Conflicts' Arrangement in Peony Pavilion

杜丽娘是《牡丹亭》唯一的核心人物,这是由汤显祖运用心学生命价值观理论塑造新佳人形象的创作意图所决定的。杜丽娘这一文学形象的文化价值主要体现在爱情自发-择偶自由-婚姻自主三端。在她身上"矛盾"与"冲突"两相分离的情形是非常特殊的,可以称之为戏剧冲突的"《牡丹亭》模式"。《牡丹亭》严肃崇高的文化品位与戏剧冲突具闹剧的丰富性与活泼性,形成了良好的艺术效果。

Du Liniang was the pivotal figure in Peony Pavilion. This was decided by Tang Xianzu＇s creation intention of using life values theory of Xin Xue （a branch of Confucius） to shape image of new beauty. The cultural value of the literary image of Du Liniang was mainly embodied in three aspects （spontaneous love, free mate choice and marital autonomy）. The special case of separation of contradictions and conflicts reflected in the image of Du Liniang could be regarded as Peony Pavilion model of dramatic conflicts. Both the serious and lofty cultural taste of Peony Pavilion and dramatic conflicts with the richness and liveliness of the farce contribute to the formation of the play＇s better artistic effect.
