论南戏的民间性与文人化——从《张协状元》到《琵琶记》

On Nanxi's Folk Creation and Literary Creation—From Zhang Xie Zhuang Yuan to A Tale of Pipa

宋元南戏自《琵琶记》产生之后,便分为民间南戏与文人南戏两路发展。《张协状元》与《琵琶记》分别代表了南戏民间创作与文人创作的特色。由于创作背景、剧作者身份不同等因素,两部戏的主题设置、故事情节的敷演同中有异,民间性与文人化相互交叠,体现了南戏由俗化到雅化的发展变化过程。

After the appearance of A Tale of Pipa, the Nanxi （Southern Drama） of Song and Yuan Dynasties was divided into two groups which were the Folk Nanxi and Literati Nanxi. Zhang Xie Zhuang Yuan and A Tale of Pipa respectively represented the folk creation of Nanxi and the literati creation of Nanxi. Due to the different creation backgrounds and identities of the writers, the two dramas differed and shared something with regard to their themes and storylines, and they showed an overlap between the folk feature and the literati feature, reflecting the process of development and changes of Nanxi from vulgarity to refinement.
