以讹传讹,以俗化雅——从梁灏故事的衍变看古代戏剧题材的世俗化

Misinformation and Secularization: Explore the Secularization of the Theme of Chinese Ancient Drama from the Development of Liang Hao's story

宋代梁灏高年夺魁一事因被编入《三字经》而广为流传,梁灏也因此成为大器晚成的典范。然征之史实,此事不过是以讹传讹。今存以梁灏晚达为题材的戏剧有《不伏老》、《题塔记》和《青袍记》等数种。前二者的改编体现了鲜明的文人价值取向和审美趣味。《青袍记》则增添诸多神异情节,旨在宣扬命定观念,凸显了更为浓厚的世俗化倾向。《青袍记》在民间的盛演影响了梁灏故事的发展方向,使其内涵及审美取向从文人情怀向着民间趣味转化。

Liang Hao,who was considered as a typical late bloomer,participated the imperial examination and won the champion in his old age,which was widely spread by the propaganda of the Three Character Classic( 《三字经》). However,it was found a misinformation by verifying the truth of history. There are several dramas about the story of Liang Hao,such as Bu Fu Lao( 《不伏老》),Ti Ta Ji( 《题塔记》) and Qing Pao Ji( 《青袍记》). The adaptation of the first two texts reflects the literati's value orientation and aesthetic taste. In Qing Pao Ji,a lot of magical plots were added in order to promote the concept of destiny. Compared with the other two,this drama is more secularized. The performance of Qing Pao Ji was very popular,which transformed the elegant taste of the story into the secular fun.
