“大团圆”叙事模式的早期表现及伦理基础——以《列女传》为例

The Early Performance and the Ethical Foundation of the Narrative“The Happy Ending”: Taking The Biography of a Shigeyoshi Woman as an Example

《列女传》作为中国第一部女性传记集,其情节结构的方式具有较为明显的"圆满化"叙事特征,这是作者道德理性觉醒的文学表现。这种结局方式已经开启后代"大团圆"结局之先河,其伦理基础为儒家道德体系及民间朴素的因果报应观念,又深受史书叙事"道德决定论"的影响。

The book, The Biography of a Shigeyoshi Woman, is the first biography of a female Chinese. The structural development of the book is obviously characterized by the ＂satisfactory＂ narrative features, which is a literary symbol of the author＇ s moral and rational awakening. Such a result has touched off the beginning of ＂the happy ending＂ in a novel, with its ethical foundation from the Confucian moral system and simple concept of the retribution for sin in the folklore. Besides, the writer has also been influenced substantially by historical narrative ＂moral determinism＂.
