论中国古代嘲谑文学

Study of the Chinese Ancient Literary Satire

受儒家思想的影响,我国自古以来就有的"诗教"传统,把"温柔敦厚"作为诗歌的审美标准,而对娱乐、嘲戏性的文字评价不高。但是,娱乐调笑是人的天性,也是生活中不可或缺的一部分。纵观中国古代文学,历朝历代都不乏嘲谑之作。这些作品内容丰富,手法多样,并且具有多种功能。有些作品在娱乐和调笑之外,往往还体现着当事人的思想性情和聪明才智,也在一定程度上反映了当时的社会环境与时代风貌,蕴含着更深刻的社会内容。

Due to the influence of Confucianism, Chinese literature has always had a tradition of ＂poem teaching＂. The aesthetic standard of Chinese poetry is ＂gentle and generous＂. People are unlikely to think highly of recreational works, but entertainment is an indispensable part of human life. In ancient Chinese literature, every dynasty has many recreational works. These works are rich in content, diverse in techniques and have many functions. Some of them are not only entertaining, but also reflect the characters＇ thoughts, personality, and intelligence. To some extent, they also reflect the social environment at that time, and contain profound social content.
