《狂鼓史渔阳三弄》创作本旨浅析

Elementary Analysis on the Creation Purpose of The History of the Mad Drum

历来对徐渭《四声猿》中《狂鼓史渔阳三弄》一剧主题的理解,大都局限于就文字表面立论或就徐渭生平考据索隐,鲜有深入挖掘其内在深沉意蕴者。鉴于此,以对《狂鼓史》文本的深入理解挖掘为基点,以祢衡形象为切入点,探求徐渭写作《狂鼓史》的本旨所在,得到《狂鼓史》为追求"人性本真"之作,以及徐渭写作《狂鼓史》的基点乃在于对复归其"人性本真"之幻想的结论。最后,通过简单对比《狂鼓史》与《四声猿》其他三剧并分析,得出"人性本真"不只是《狂鼓史》的创作本旨所在,更是贯穿整个《四声猿》四种杂剧的统一中心思想的结论。

Most understandings about the theme of The History of the Mad Drum in Xu Wei＇s Sishengyuan are confined to surface phenomena or the searching for secret connection with Xu＇s life. Its connotations are rarely been fully excavated. This paper is based on deeper excavating of The History of the Mad Drum and aims to search Xu＇s real writing intention of this work by the character image of Mi Heng. We get the conclusion that The History of the Mad Drum is a work which pursues the ＂true humanity＂ and Xu＇s creation pur- pose of the drama is the illusion of returning the true humanity. In the end, through a simple comparison between The History of the Mad Drum and the other three dramas in Sishengyuan, we can get the conclusion that the true humanity is not only the creation purpose of the drama The History of the Mad Drum, but also the main idea through the four dramas in Sishengyuan.
