论《细侯》对中国古代杀子母题的承继与超越

On the Heritage and Transcension of Child-Killing Motif in Ancient China in Xihou

母杀子这一表现极端人物极端行为的情节,在中国古代文学作品中已经成为一个侠义复仇杀子"母题"。《聊斋志异·细侯》篇在杀子模式和妇人杀子心理方面受到古代侠义复仇中杀子故事的影响,但更多的是对古代侠义复仇中母亲杀子母题在人物类型、心理动机、命运结局等方面的一种超越。

The plot of mother killing her child which expresses extreme human behaviors becomes a gallant revengeful child-killing motif. Xihou in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio was affected by the child-killing stories in ancient gallant revenges. But more impotantly, it was a transcension in terms of character type, psychological motivations and fate outcomes.
