《红楼梦》与《源氏物语》魂灵形象比较研究

A comparative study of soul in The Tale of Genji and A Dream of Red Mansions

《红楼梦》与《源氏物语》分别被称为中国和日本古典文学的巅峰之作,两部作品中都有"魂灵"形象的出现,试图从《红楼梦》和《源氏物语》中发掘"魂灵"形象并加以比较。据此,总结出佛教对中日两国"魂灵"形象的塑造有着重要影响。佛教在中国受到儒家思想的干预,在日本则带有浓重的神道教色彩,这是两部作品中"魂灵"形象出现差异的主要原因。

The Tale of Genji is the greatest classical litera^re in Japan just as A Dream of Red Mansions in China. There are the images of the soul in both of the two works. This essay attempts to explore and compare the images of soul from A Dream of Red Mansions and The Tale of Genji. According to this study, we conclude that Buddhism has an important impact on shaping of the image of soul both in China and Japan. Buddhism in China is under the influence of Confucianism whereas in Japan it is under the influence of Shinto, which is why there are differences between images of soul in the two works.
