汤显祖与澳门

Tang Xianzu and Macao

我国明代伟大戏剧家汤显祖在澳门的居留，给中西合璧、多姿多彩的澳门文化增添了灿烂的光辉。作为一位最早接触西方文化的中国文人，汤显祖能接受反传统的左派王学，但对于天主教却始终没有接受。汤显祖居留澳门时留下的四首关于澳门的诗歌，不仅在澳门文学史上具有极高的文学价值，而且还成为直接反映明万历年间澳门历史及社会生活的生动史料。汤氏名剧《牡丹亭》中的一出戏《谒遇》，以明代澳门之事为背景写成，戏中所反映的内容应有许多历史的真实，也为我们研究明代澳门史提供了不少珍贵史料。

Tang Xianzu, a great dramatist of the Ming dynasty, once stayed in Macao where he added his excellent talent to the colorful culture of Macao. His four poems during his stay in Macao are valuable literary master- pieces in the history of Macao literature and his famous drama, Peony Pavilion, has an episode with Macao as the background of event. All these provide us the valuable historical materials in the research of Macao.
