传统文化的智慧与我国白话小说的叙事艺术——以李渔《合影楼》为例

From Li Yu's Heyinglou to Study the Relations between Chinese Traditional Culture and the Narrative Art of Chinese Vernacular Fictions

《合影楼》以故事魅力取胜,这个故事所以有趣乃在于作家设计了路公的智慧,以及塑造了作为第三者的锦云形象,这对成功处理故事的矛盾和对立起到了关键性作用。小说中的核心意象是"墙",但作者设计此"墙"的目的不是在于象征,而是设计出一种反讽机制。由此可知,我国传统文化中的智慧影响了白话小说诸多方面:故事的特质和情节的设计,叙事的结构形态等。这些是白话小说中饶有趣味的看点得以生成的资源。白话小说的审美取向因为受传统文化中智慧影响,具有突出的语境性和复杂性,甚至白话小说浅白的象征形象的设计和手法运用也深受传统文化影响。

Heyinglou is an interesting novel with its attractive stories because the writer created a wise Lugong and the figure of Jingyun as the third party which is the key for the writer to successfully deal with the conflicts and antagonism.The core image of the novel is＂a wall＂but the design of this＂wall＂is not a symbol but rather a kind of ironic mechanism.Therefore,we can see the wisdom of Chinese traditional culture influenced many aspects of the vernacular fictions.The aesthetic orientation of the vernacular fictions has prominent and complex context,and even the design of the plain symbolic image of the vernacular novel is also deeply affected because of the impact of Chinese traditional culture.
