晚清狭邪小说承载的地域传统——以三部“梦”小说为中心

The Regional Tradition Carried by the Late-Qing Courtesan Novels: Centering on Three Novels of “Dream”

被视为晚清狭邪小说的《风月梦》《青楼梦》《海上繁华梦》,在文学价值上无法与《海上花列传》比肩,但如果从地域文化的角度重新审视,就能发现它们承载了共同的吴地地域传统,又贴上了扬州、苏州、上海各自的城市标签,已超越普通的狭邪小说,具有独特的地域文化价值。

Classified as the courtesan novel, those Late-Qing novels, such as Fengyue Meng, Qinglou Meng, and Haishang Fanhua Meng, may be not so rich in literary value as Sing-song Girls of Shanghai. However, if they can be re-examined from the perspective of regional culture, then the unique cultural value will be revealed, that is, the common regional tradition of the Wu Region, and the distinctive features of Yangzhou, Suzhou and Shanghai.
