略谈中国的盗墓小说

On Chinese Novels about Grave Raiders

近几年中国兴起了盗墓小说热,而在中国小说初创的魏晋南北朝小说中就有大量与掘墓有关的小说。二者竟然有很多相同点,都与民间道教有关,都与白日梦的心理机制有关,都有有民间色彩的叙述者。在纯小说读者流失的今天,我们应该从中得到一些启发。

Novels about tomb raiders have become popular in China in recent years.In fact,even in the Wei,Jin,and North and South Dynasties when novels had come into existence for only a short period,there were many fictions about tomb raiding.Unexpectedly,the two have many similarities.Both are related with folk Daoism and the psychological mechanism of daydream,and both have excellent folk narrators.When readers are more and more fed up with the pure novels today,it is meaningful to us think where the novels can go.
