唐英戏剧创作在艺术形式上的创新

Artistic Innovations in TANG Ying's Opera-Writing

文人传奇的余势期 ,戏剧创作不仅在题材内容上萎缩 ,而且艺术形式也日趋雷同 ,诸多形式上的因袭使戏曲陷入困境 ,失去了活泼的生命。唐英于此期间创作和改编的包括 1 7个剧目的《古柏堂传奇》 ,自觉吸收了花部地方戏生动、活泼的表现形式 ,借鉴文人传奇创作中优秀的关目安排 ,形式多样 ,雅俗共赏 ,极具表演性。本文从唐英剧作在结构上打破传统、角色安排上重视净丑、语言上追求通俗等方面分析了唐英戏剧创作在艺术形式上的创新 ,认为唐英的创作实践在当时为昆曲复苏作出了贡献 ,也对今天探索古代戏曲的复兴与发展之路有借鉴意义。

In the decline of 'legend of scholars',opera-writing not only shrank in subject matter, drove opera into dire straits. Meanwhile, TANG Ying's Legend of Gubotang, which included 17 operas he wrote or revised, marked a breakthrough. Based on the analyses of his artistic innovations regarding the structure, arrangement of characters, simple and plain language in his operas, this paper holds that TANG Ying's literary creation made a great contribution to the rejuvenation of Kunqu opera at the time and, even today, we can use it for reference in our study of the rejuvenation and development of ancient operas.
