论《蛇郎》故事的道德教育价值

Discussion On Moral Instruction of the Folk Story Snake Man

《蛇郎》故事是广泛流传于我国的一个民间故事类型,主要讲述俩姐妹围绕蛇郎产生的矛盾冲突,表现她们在思想性格及道德品质上的差异。作为一篇民间文学作品,《蛇郎》故事不仅具有文艺的审美价值,也对广大女性有着思想教育和道德规范的作用,以现代文化观念来看,该故事无疑包含着浓重的封建思想,具有一定的时代局限性,但其中所显示出的我国女性勤劳、善良、勇敢、包容等传统美德是现代女性仍然应该学习和继承的。

The Snake Man is widely spreaded in our country. The story depicts personal and moral differences about the two sisters by portraying the conflicts between them towards the snake man. As a folk story, the Snake Man not only creates the aesthetic value in literature, but also reveals moral instruction and precept for woman. From the view of modern culture, the story with the limita- tions of the times constrain some strong feudal thought. The traditional merits of women displayed in this story should also be learned and inherited by woman in modern society.
