孟称舜杂剧创作略论

On Meng Chengshun's Drama Creation

晚明剧作家孟称舜的杂剧不仅具有强烈的入世精神和对现实世界的人文关怀,而且追求戏曲人物的个性化与传神效果,推崇本色当行、富于韵趣的语言。这使他迥异于那些嘲风弄月以求休闲自适或一味媚俗借以谋取名利的剧作家,成为晚明剧坛名符其实的殿军。

The drama of Meng Chengshun, a playwright of the late Ming Dynasty, not only has a strong spirit of the real world and humanistic care, but also has the pursuit of personalized opera characters and vivid effect, in which the simple language full of charm and interest is presented. The above make him different from those late Ming drama playwrights who either seek pleasure in pursuit of leisure adaptation or blindly take kitsch to seek fame. Thus, it can be said that Meng Chengshun is truly a heavyweight playwright in the drama field of late Ming.
