《三国演义》与《春秋》叙事

Spring and Autumn Annals and Romance of the Three Kingdoms

罗贯中"有志图王",编撰《三国演义》是罗贯中"图王"的一种方式,虽然《三国演义》"以俗近语,隐括成编",但却是理想之书,而其中最为理想化的追求,莫过于效法《春秋》叙事,以史演义,"裨益风教"。《三国演义》,以蜀汉正统观叙事,让世人知"正统必当扶,窃位必当诛";在直书、虚构中寓褒贬,让世人知"忠孝节义必当师,奸贪谀佞必当去"。

Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong shows his ambition of being a king. Although written in vulgar language, it is an ideal book imitating the Spring and Autumn Annals. An account of the Shu Kingdom lets people know that ＂legal successors of the throne should be supported while usurpers executed.＂ ＂Loyalty, flial piety and integrity should be upheld while disloyalty, corruption and treacherousness condemned.＂
