王渔洋的《题辞》与余秋室的佳《序》——谈《聊斋志异》的“独创性原则”

Original Creation Principle of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio(《聊斋志异》):a View from Wang Yuyang's Inscription and Yu Ji's Preface on Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio

渔洋老人为《聊斋志异》的《题词》,揭示了作品的"总体特征"。百年之后,余秋室之佳《序》,有如《题词》之注脚,全面而深刻的阐释、发挥了《题词》的思想,指出了《聊斋志异》何以"厌作人间语""爱听鬼唱时"。而这一点,作为《聊斋志异》的思想与艺术的"总体特征",正体现着文学的"独创性原则"。

Wang Yuyang revealed the overall characteristics of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio （《聊斋志异》 ） by his Inscription on the novel. One hundred years later, Yu Ji＇ s Preface on Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio （《聊斋志异》）, similarly as the footprint of the Inscription, entirely and profoundly explained and exerted the idea of the Inscription by analyzing why the author detested to speak in the human world and liked to hear ghosts singing. As the overall ideological and art characteristics of the novel, this reflects the original creation principle of the novel.
