中国评书研究的现状与思考

The Situation and Consideration of Chinese Folk Storytelling Research

评书是中国民间优秀的口头文学形式之一,深受老百姓的喜爱,但对评书的研究却非常寥落,除了谭达先、汪景寿、张啸涛等人的三部著作之外,几乎无人涉及。这种现状虽令人痛心,但也为后学者提供了广阔的研究空间。评书研究是一个可持续开发的研究项目,通过对评书的研究,可以增进对社会史、文化史、曲艺史的认识和了解,有助于推动评书艺术理论的建设,有助于评书艺术优秀传统的继承和发扬,有助于树立并坚定评书艺术在未来社会继续存在和发展的信心。

Chinese folk storytelling,as an excellent form of oral literature,was favored by the common Chinese people for a long time,but the academic research of Chinese folk storytelling is very little,besides the three monographs by Tan Daxian,Wang Jingtao and Zhang Xiaotao. Although the research situation is poor,it also provides a broad academic space for later researchers. The research on Chinese folk Storytelling is a sustainable development project because it can enhance the awareness and understanding of social history,cultural history and drama art history,and it can also be helpful to promote the construction of Chinese folk storytelling theory,to inherit and promote the good tradition,and to establish a strong confidence for the exist and development of Chinese folk storytelling in the future.
