明代话本小说创作冲破程朱理学樊篱论存疑——兼与高教版《中国文学史》商榷

Impeaching Theory of Narrative Novels Creation in Ming Dynasty Breaking down Mental Barriers of Cheng- Zhu’s Neo- Confucianism——Discussion with History of Chinese Literary(Higher Education Press)

高教版《中国文学史》将明末话本小说的兴盛归因于明中叶陆王心学的兴起,以至于认为明代话本小说创作冲破了程朱理学樊篱。以"三言"为例,我们不应该将其拔高到"肯定人欲的合理要求,主张人际间地位平等,追求个性的自然发展",甚至"歌颂婚恋自主,张扬男女平等","具有尊重女性的意识"等高度。事实上,"三言"的创作更多地受到程朱理学思想的影响,并没有跳出理学思想的樊篱。

History of Chinese Literary （Higher Education Press） attributed the booming of narrative novel creation in late Ming dynasty to the rising of Lu-Wang parapsychology in middle Ming dynasty so that it was considered to break down the mental barriers of Cheng-Zhu＇s Neo-Confueianism. Take ＂San Yan＂ for example, we should not praise it to the height of ＂affirming reasonable requirement of human needs, claiming equality between people, seeking for the natural evolution of personality and even extolling flee marriage and equality between sex difference＂. Actually, the creation of ＂San Yah＂ was more influenced by Cheng-Zhu＇s Neo-Confucianism and did not jump out the barriers of Neo-Confucianism.
