神性、俗性及其互动共生——关于传统戏剧生存机制的几点思考

Divinity,Secularity and the Interaction and Symbiosis between them: Some Thoughts about the Survival Mechanism of Traditional Drama

在当下,生存仍然是传统戏剧研究的一个重要问题。神性、俗性是传统戏剧的两面性,既是相对的,又是统一的,贯穿于传统戏剧的整个发展历史,从起源的因俗入神、神俗交通,到形态的出神入俗、俗神兼备,最后到功能的因神而俗、亦神亦俗,传统戏剧始终徘徊于神、俗之间。作为实现人神沟通、人神合一的神性装扮与作为娱乐、政治、经济手段的俗性表演有着紧密的联系,从二者的联系之中,我们既能了解传统戏剧形态、功能演变的内在规律,又能认识传统戏剧生存与传承的内在机制。这是思考传统戏剧当代命运的一个重要切入点。

Surviving is a big problem in traditional drama research right now. The two sides of traditional drama,divinity and secularity,are relative and unified. They run through the whole development of traditional drama,closely related to its origin,form and function. The divine dressing up and the secular performance are of close relation. We can find out the inner law of the form and the function development of tradition drama,and the surviving and inheritance mechanism of it. This is an important point to think of the destiny of traditional drama in present.
