《聊斋志异·画皮》陈氏形象新论——“妻子”的消退与“母亲”的诞生

From Wife to Mother——A New Discussion on the Image of Chen in Liaozhaizhiyi: Painted Skin

用精神分析理论对《聊斋志异·画皮》进行分析可以勾勒出一条王生与陈氏从夫妻情感向母子情感过渡的路线轨迹。陈氏母亲形象的诞生肇始于王生的潜意识中潜藏着对母性的依赖和需要,从而引起王生与女鬼的邂逅。应用精神分析理论解读王生从对妻子陈氏与女鬼的情欲转化发现,妻子陈氏主动选择了角色的转换。这一过程即由陈氏为救丈夫甘愿食人痰唾而重生为心的过程展现出来。这一过程也是"妻子"的消退与"母亲"的诞生角色转换过程,这是一种生育的象征,是一种妻子情感的转化,也是一种母性诞生的情感展现。

Based on the psychoanalytic theory,a transitional path of emotion from between wife and husband to mother and son can be tracked in the relationship of Wang Sheng and Chen.The birth of mother image of Chen originated from Wang’s subconscious maternal dependence and needs,which lead to wang’s encountering with the female ghost.Results of psychoanalysis on Wang’erotic transformation from his wife to the female ghost indicate that it is his wife Chen who actively chose the role conversion.This process is reflected in Chen’s trying her best to save her husband life by willingly eating other people’s sputum.It is also a process of image transform from a wife to a mother,which is a symbol of fertility,an emotional transformation of a wife and an emotional manifestation of the birth of motherhood.
