《儒林外史》非讽刺小说论

Confucian Unofficial History isn't a Sarcastic Novel

《儒林外史》是“讽刺小说”的说法始于鲁迅先生 ,并得到广泛认同。但这种分类并不科学 ,既不符合吴敬梓的主观创作意图 ,也不符合作品的实际情况。这种说法的提出 。

Lu Xun first brought forward the view that Confucian Unofficial History is a sarcastic novel, and it was well received by scholars since then. However, putting this novel in the catalogue of sarcastic is not suitable, because sarcastic is nether Wu Jingzi's intention, nor the real situation in the novel. The view only has much to do with Lu Xun's own creative personality.
