谈《阅微草堂笔记》中的另类轮回故事

The Special Reincarnation Tales in The Notes of Yuewei Cottage

《阅微草堂笔记》中记载了众多的轮回故事。死亡意味着遗忘前生,但《阅微草堂笔记》中的轮回者往往能清晰地记得前生。纪昀如此刻画轮回故事,和他坚持有限视角的叙述方式有关,也和他坚持"寓劝戒"的创作宗旨有关。既要用现实生活中并不存在的轮回故事导人向善,又坚持不能虚构,纪昀只能记载另类的轮回故事。

Massive reincarnation tales were on record in The Notes of Yuewei Cottage. Death naturally means the prelviouslife falling into oblivion, while the rebirth persons in the writing can often recall their previouslife sight clearly. Depiction of reincarnation stories in this way from Jiyun related to his insisting on limited angle of view to narrate the story, and also the creation principle of expostulation implication. Using reincarnation story guides people to the good, and insist on not fiction, Jiyun can only record the special reincarnation tales.
