试探元杂剧中寺庙场景的艺术功能

The Study on Scenes of Buddhist Temples and its Art Function in the Drama of the Yuan Dynasty

通过对《元曲选》与《元曲选外编》的梳理,可以发现,寺庙场景在整个元杂剧的艺术构思中占据着重要位置,并在情节中展现出三种不同形态,其作用也不同。在叙述层面上,寺庙场景又存在着表层功能与深层功能两个层面,较之于其他场景,更能体现元杂剧鲜明的时代性和深刻的思想性。

The author finds that scenes of Buddhist Temples occupy an important position in the artistic design by studying the anthology of Qu and the supplement anthology of Qu in Yuan dynansty. They show three different forms in the storys and their functions are also different. In narratation, there exists suffaee function and deep function. Compared with other scenes, scenes of Buddhist Temples can more reflect the vivid temporal spirit and profound thought.
