明传奇中的吴地婚俗文化——以沈璟和梁辰鱼的戏曲为例

Marriage Customs at Wu District as Shown in Legends of Ming Dynasty——Illustrated with Operas of SHEN Jing and LIANG Chenyu

明代的传奇是指用南方音乐演唱的长篇戏曲,其中沈璟和梁辰鱼是苏州籍的代表作家。他们的作品表现了吴地婚俗文化的有关内容:男女婚恋的形式与浓郁的江南水乡特点;注重仪礼程序而又简单务实的婚姻态度;珍视自我的价值取向与恋情表述的书卷气息。研究这一问题具有注重地域文化与民俗保护的积极意义。

The legends of the Ming Dynasty are full-length operas with lyrics sung to music characteristic of the south. SHEN Jing and LIANG Chenyu,who were born in Suzhou,are representatives of the legend writers. Their works show what the marriage customs in the District of Wu were like. Three aspects of the customs are explained in detail：the form of love affairs and marriage and the rich south characters; the attitude of valuing ritual procedures and simple practice; the self treasure value orientation and intellectual character of love expressing. It is of great value to draw attention of the local culture and folk culture protection.
