诙谐文化历史悠久,文学史上不乏以滑稽、幽默来增添文学趣味的佳作,但纵观历代文学,只有元代戏曲将诙谐发展成了一个时代文艺代表性的审美风貌。本文试图从诙谐文化发展的脉络中探究元曲诙谐特质的由来,分析其作为一种异于主流审美的艺术形态在元代形成风尚的主要原因,探究其留存在戏剧结构和民族文化心理中的深远影响,藉以标识元曲诙谐趣味的特殊价值。

The culture of humor has a long history. As is seen in the history of literature, humorous elements improve the flavor of literary works. But throughout the history of Chinese literature, only the humor of the Xiqu during Yuan Dynasty became representative of the aesthetics of an era. This paper attempts to explore the source and characteristics of humor in Yuanqu; analyze the cause of its formation as an aesthetic style, differing from the mainstream; and explore its far-reaching influence on the theatrical structure and national cultural psychology so as to show the special value of humor in it.
