元代记梦诗序文初探

An Exploration on the Prefaces to Dream-recording Poetry in Yuan Dynasty

元代记梦诗序文的数量远超前代,其内容也更为丰富,按照序文中梦到的人物对象可归为三类:仙翁神女之奇幻、先贤恩师之追念、至亲挚友之思叹。某些篇幅较长的记梦诗序文已初具小说形制,几乎可以完全摆脱与诗文本的依附关系而有着独立、独特的艺术审美价值。元代记梦诗序文的突出特色可概括为三点:梦里作诗、灵异感应、序中解梦。元人在记梦诗序文中试图解梦的种种努力,基于前人又高于前人,体现着元代序文的独特认识价值与理论意义。

The prefaces to dream-recording poetry in Yuan Dynasty outnumbered all the previous generations, with richer contents. They can be classified into three types ： those on the goddess of fan- tasy tales, those memories of sages and teachers, and those missing relatives. Some long prefaces are similar to novels, and can stand alone with their unique aesthetic value. In general these Yuan prefaces have three prominent characteristics： poetic creation in dream, supernatural induction, and dream in- terpretation in preface. Their reading of dreams is based on but excels the similar efforts of their pre- decessors, embodying the unique cognitive value and theoretical significance of the Yuan prefaces.
