沈亚之小说的道教蕴涵及其思想矛盾与意义

The Taoism Implications,Ideological Contradiction and Significance of Shen Yazhi's Novels

唐传奇在中国小说史上有着重要影响,沈亚之的传奇小说《湘中怨辞》、《异梦录》、《秦梦记》作为唐传奇中比较好的作品,一度赢得了后世的认可。透过沈氏作品内容,我们一方面能看到清丽脱俗、才华横溢的女仙,感受作者"羡仙"意识的流露,另一方面能察觉到作者对道家"仙界胜于人间"、"长生不老"思想的批判。其中包含的矛盾思想,是对科举制度弊端的揭露,也是对统治者的讽喻和劝谏。

Legendary novels of Tang Dynasty have played an important role in the history of Chinese novel. As we know that the Xiang zhong yuanci,Yi meng lu and Qin meng ji which were written by the Shen Yazhi were the outstanding works in the legendary novels of Tang Dynasty,and once won the recognition of the later people. The Shen Yazhi’s legendary novels that not only describe the beauty and wisdom of goddess in details but also present the consciousness on admiring the life of goddess,criticize the ideology of Taoism which believes that the immortal world is better than the human one and human can live forever without getting old. In addition,ideological contradiction that hides in the Shen Yazhi’s novels reveals the disadvantages of the imperial examination system reflecting the allegories and admonitions to the rulers.
