试论《关雎》在《牡丹亭》中的意义

On the Meaning of "Guan Ju" in "The Peony Pavilion"

《牡丹亭》作为汤显祖"临川四梦"中的得意之作,充分彰显了汤显祖的"至情观"。试以《关雎》为切入点来探寻其在《牡丹亭》中的意义。汤显祖通过陈最良和杜丽娘对《关雎》的不同解读,表现了陈最良的迂腐、塑造了在"情"与"礼"尖锐对立下的"有情人"杜丽娘,与此同时,通过他们对《关雎》的传统的经学解读与新的诗学解读的对立,表现了"天理"(人的道德属性)与"人欲"(人的自然属性)不可调和的矛盾,进一步彰显了汤显祖"主情反理"的思想内涵以及《牡丹亭》的时代意义。

＂ The Peony Pavilion＂,as one favorite work in Tang Xianzhu＇s ＂ The Four Dreams＂,demonstratedhis ＂ most emotionalview＂ successfully. The study started with ＂ Guang Ju＂ in order to search for the significance of emotional view in his ＂ The Peony Pavilion＂. Through his different interpretations for Chen Zuiliang and Du liniangin Guan Ju,Tang Xianzu described Chen Zuilian＇s pedantry,and created Du Liniang who was a person with love under the sharp conflict. Meanwhile,through the comparison between the traditional classic explanation and poetic interpretation of Guanju,an irreconcilable conflict between ＂ Justice＂（ the moral attribute of human and ＂ Desire＂（ the natural attribute of human） was presented,which indicated Tang Xianzu＇s ideological connotation for emotion and against rationality,as well as the era significance of ＂ The Peony Pavilion＂.
