“牡丹亭上三生路”——从接受美学角度浅析三妇评本《牡丹亭》

Three persons' life road on Peony Pavilion——Analysis on three women on the Peony Pavilion from the perspective of reception theory

明代杰出戏剧家汤显祖所作《牡丹亭》自问世后,评家蜂起,清钱塘吴吴山三妇的合评本现今被公认为其中上乘之作。然而《牡丹亭》评家对三妇本向来多以一本书而统称之,少有论及三妇间评点思想感情的异同。从接受美学角度出发,可以得见三妇毕竟作为阅读接受行为的个体,"期待视野"有所不同,与作品产生的共鸣处也有所差异,各自评跋亦不尽相同;但三妇又都于"情"字颇为重视。正是这些异同使三妇评本成为《牡丹亭》女性评本中的吉光片羽而留存至今。

Tang Xianzu, an outstanding dramatist in the Ming Dynasty, wrote ＂Peony Pavilion＂. Since its publication, it had been com- mented by many of the critics. The comments by three women in Qiantang Wuwu Hill are recognized as the best ones. However critics on ＂Peony Pavilion＂ regard three womeng comments as one book and seldom comment on their similarities and differences in thoughts and feelings. From the aesthetic point of view, you can see three women were after all individuals of reading acceptance behavior, whose ＂horizon of expectation＂ was different, and whose resonance of works was also somewhat different and whose rated sequence was also different; but the three women focused on the ＂emotion＂. It is these similarities and differences that led to three womeng review on ＂ Peony Pavilion＂.
