元杂剧中的中州情结

The Central Region Complex in the Dramas of Yuan Dynasty

据文献记载元杂剧演出繁盛的地域为大都、临安、平阳、真定和东平等地,但元杂剧近一半剧目的故事内容涉及今河南的大量地名。这既与河南作为古代政治中心的历史地位有关,更重要的是宋元时期的历史造就了宋金元文学中挥之不去的"中州情结"。元杂剧中大量涉及河南地名的剧目,其实是广大民众思想深处的"集体无意识",这些河南地名实际是能够引起最深沉的内心共鸣的"想象的共同体"。

Based on the records of historical texts, the places where Yuan dramas were frequently performed are Da Du, Lin An, Ping Yang, Zhen Ding and Dong Ping etc. However, nearly half of Yuan dramas have stories related to the names of places in today＇ s Henan province. This is partly because of the historical position of Henan as the political center in ancient China, but more importantly, it＇ s related to a haunted ＂central region complex＂ in literature of Song, Yuan and Jin Dynasties caused by the history. The large number of dramas involves place names of Henan represents a deep ＂collective unconscious＂ of the vast populace, arousing the deepest resonance of an ＂imaged community＂ from their hearts.
