“南风”:地域文化与明清白话小说之男风叙事

A Study on Faggotry Narration in Ming and Qing Vernacular Novels Influenced by Regional Culture

男风又叫"南风",在明清白话小说中相当普遍,其得名与这种风气在南方,尤其是在苏浙闽地区盛行有关。男风故事多发生在南方,"小官"多为南人,且女性化明显,呈现出明显的南方地域特征。江南山水的滋养与南方审美文化影响了"小官"形象的塑造,江南独特的地理环境与经济文化令男风消费风行,江南理学的文化分布又令男风小说包含纵欲性与主情性。总之,江南地域文化是明清白话小说中男风故事盛行的主要因素。

Faggotry, also called ＂South Wind＂, was quite common in the vernacular novels in the Ming and Ding dynasties. Faggotry was closely related with the prevalent custom in the south China, especially in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian. Faggotry usually occurred in the south, and male prostitutes were usually southerners with characteristics of female and southern region. Jiangnan landscape and southern aesthetic culture nourished and impacted the image eonstruc tion of male prostitutes. Jiangnan unique geographical environment and its economy and culture also made male homosexuality become a popular consumption. Jiangnan Confucian culture made male homosexuality stories full of sex indulgence and affections. Therefore, Jiangnan regional culture resulted in prevalence of male homosexuality stories in the Ming and Qing vernacular novel.
