“鬼才”与“留仙”的跨时空际会——日本作家芥川龙之介的聊斋情结

The Meeting across Time and Space——Japanese Writer Akudagawa’s “Liaozhai” Complex

《聊斋志异》对日本近代文学的影响远远不及同时代的其他中国古典作品,芥川龙之介是为数不多的关注这一作品的日本作家之一。从人生际遇、社会背景、生活环境、悒郁意识四个层面,探究"鬼才"与"留仙"产生共鸣的根源。芥川吸收《聊斋志异》中的有益养分,以主题题材的直接借用和故事原型的浸润性化用两种方式,创作《酒虫》、《仙人》等经典作品,为自己的创作开拓了更为广阔的视角。

The impact of Strange Tales from Liaozhai on modern Japanese literature is far less than other Chinese classical works. Akutagawa Ryunosuke was one of the few Japanese writers who paid attention to it. From the life experiences, social background, living environment, and melancholy consciousness, the article explores the root of common denominator between Akutagawa and Pu Songling. Akutagawa absorbed beneficial nutrients from Strange Tales from Liaozhai, and created classical works such as Immortal and Wine Worm by direct borrowing subject matter or using the prototypes of the stories.
