混合三教 以儒为本——论《封神演义》的整体文化特征

Three Religions Mixed and Confucianism Dominant——The General Cultural Identity of Creation of the Gods

《封神演义》的整体文化特征是"混合三教,以儒为本"。三教的思想与内容在《封神演义》中呈现为混合杂陈的状态,但其思想的根本却是正统儒家思想。其主要表现便是对儒家的革命思想、忠孝思想和仁政思想的认同,且这些思想具有鲜明的理学文化特征。"混合三教"是该书民间叙事特征的反映,"以儒为本"是该书正统叙事特征的反映。编者"奇正并存,执正驭奇"的叙事策略是这一整体文化特征形成的主要原因。

The general cultural identity of Creation of the Gods is ＂three religions mixed and Confucianism dominant＂,that is to say,the contents of three religions and ideas in the Creation of the Gods are in the state of mixture,but the fundamental thought is orthodox Confucianism.Political ethics of Creation of the Gods has distinct Neo-Confucianism cultural features,mainly reflecting on the revolutionary ideas of Confucianism,loyalty and filial piety,and the thought of Confucian benevolent governance.The general cultural identity mainly comes from the overall narrative strategy in Creation of the Gods,which is the coexistence and integration of orthodox narrative and folk narrative.
