意象模式及其在唐宋传奇小说中的运用

Imagery and Tales of Marvels

模式是一种功能框架 ,隐寓着一种规范的确立和对常态的认同。中国古典叙事模式的探讨应当着眼于时间、结构、视角、意象四个方面 ,而后者尤为唐宋传奇所独擅。唐宋传奇小说意象模式的运用主要有 :借助核心意象暗寓人物命运 ,通过意象叠加定格创设诗化情境 ,异性信物本身的表情达意 ,神话灵异故事的预言意义等。情意、表象兼具的意象往往凝聚精神 ,疏通文脉 ,强化了作品的审美趣味 ,共同促成了中国文学的抒情传统。

Style has a function of implying an establishment of a standard and an acceptance of normality.The exploration of Chinese classical narrative style should focus on time,structure,perspective and especially imagery which was used the best by the tales of marvels in Tang and Song Dynasties.In these tales,imageries,such as tokens,myths,and ghost stories,can be used to imply the characters' fates,create an poetic atmosphere or convey some predition.It expresses feelings,ideas and spirits,gives clear style to the stories,stresses the aesthetic tastes,and helps to set up the tradition of lyricism for Chinese literature.
