于无声处听惊雷——论明清才子佳人小说的情节自创性

Listening to Thunder in Quiescence——Onthe self-creation of plots in novels of Scholars and Beauties in Ming and Qing Dynasties

明末清初的才子佳人小说在其"一见钟情(诗赋传情)"、"小人拨乱"、"及第团圆"的结构模式中,形成了看似"千部一套"的思维定势,但在这种模式化的内蕴中,却产生在小说情节、叙事形式上的变幻,使得这一时期的才子佳人小说犹如暗香疏影般显示出独特的审美魅力。

Novels of scholars and beauties in Ming and Qing Dynasties formed the seemingly ＂stereotyped＂ thinking patternin the structures of ＂falling into love at the first sight＂,＂being disturbed by flunkies＂,and ＂reunion after passingi mperial examinations＂.However,the structures generate the variationsin plot and narration ways,thus making novels of scholars and beauties at the ti me reveal the unique charm.
