明代《三言》小说中的“三姑六婆”形象探究

The images of "Three aunts and six grandmas"in"Sanyan" of Ming Dynasty

"三姑六婆"是一个复杂的社会群体,其形象反映了晚明的社会风貌和百姓的生活场景,折射出中国传统伦理观念在文学中的伦理意蕴。"三言"文本中各个"三姑六婆"形象,一方面具有趋炎附势、唯利是图、违背封建伦理道德的性格特征,体现出她们的悲剧命运是由其低下的社会地位和金钱观念、强烈的社会现实造成的;另一方面也反映了传统文学作品对女性形象的某种妖魔化,并以此突出冯梦龙反对封建道德束缚,提倡人欲,但不赞成纵欲,淡泊贞节观念等思想观念。

＂Three aunts and six grandmas＂is a complicated social group,these images of human in ＂Sanyan＂ reflect the social feature and living situation of people in Late Ming Dynasty,as well as the ethical meaning of the Chinese traditional moral concept in literature.Through molding the images of ＂three aunts and six grandmas＂,we can see that this group of people have the feature of timeserving,mercenary and violating the feudal moral.It is the low social status and strong money view that form their harsh moral feature.Besides,shaping these images of human not only mirrors the demonization of female images in traditional literary works,but also Menglong Feng＇s thoughts of going against the feudal moral,advocating physical desire but not lechery and being indifferent to the idea of virtue.
