略谈《金瓶梅》中的谶纬文化

Discussing Confucianist Divination in Jin Ping Mei

《金瓶梅》运用了一语成谶、梦验、算命等谶纬文化形式,并贯穿于全书始终。在《金瓶梅》中,谶纬文化既被作为塑造人物形象的手段,也是故事情节的有机组成部分,具有描写人物外貌、表现人物境遇、刻画人物性格和结构全书等艺术功能。将《金瓶梅》中的谶纬文化一概称为封建迷信或糟粕是不妥的。

Some forms of diviation culture such as augury, dream-confirming and fortane-telling are used throughout the Jin Pin Mei.In this novel,divination cahure is used as a meas to create cheracters.It is also an organic part of the story ,with artistic functions of portraying and depicting characters,displaying characters＇ situations and froming the whole novel.Therefore,it is not proper to see the divination culture in Jin Pin Mei as ferdel superstition or dross.
