古代戏曲对诗词“本事”的戏剧化吸收与演绎

The Absorption and Adaptation of Poetical “Subjects” into Scripts of the Ancient Operas

古代戏曲对诗词"本事"的戏剧化吸收与演绎主要有如下几种情形:有些戏曲直接以诗歌叙写的内容作为戏曲创作的本事素材;有些诗歌既有一定的叙事内容又和诗人有一定的关联,戏曲作家就将诗人形象附会、糅合进诗作内容中来重新结撰故事;有些戏曲以流传的诗词故事作为戏曲创作的本事素材。这种本事化吸收既显示出诗词中包含的叙事性,也体现出诗词和戏曲的叙事关联性。

Generally speaking,the absorption and adaptation of the poetical"subjects"into the scripts of the ancient operas fall into the following categories.First,some operas directly took the poetical narratives as their dramatic subjects.Second,the playwrights with imagination rewrote stories associating the poetical narratives with their poets.Third,some operas adopted the popular stories in poetry as the subjects for their dramatic creation which display the poetical narrative and the correlation between poetry and opera as well.
