论程煐的《龙沙剑传奇》的创作艺术

Review on the Creative Art of The Legend of Long Sha Sword Composed by Cheng Ying

《龙沙剑传奇》是目前黑龙江所发现的唯一一部流人戏剧文本,该传奇糅合许旌阳除妖及湘媪、李鹬三个传统神话故事,结思精巧,借以宣泄作者程煐的民族之愤和个人之悲。在传奇创作艺术上,其"高华雄丽","结构严密",充分显示出作者的传奇创作才华;尤其是在传奇剧创作实践上,继承了明代以来南戏的道统,不愧中国戏曲史上"传奇收场时的豹尾"、"明清传奇的殿军"的高度评价。

As the only playwright,composed by an exiled man,has been found in Hei Longjiang so far,The Legend of Long Sha Sword integrated three traditional mythologies about Xu Jingyang,Xiang Ao and Li Yu who were renowned for their fights with devils,through which the author expressed his indignation for the nation and the individual misery.In terms of the traditional art of creation,the work is characteristic of“magnificent highness in tune”and“well-knit in structure”,which adequately revealed the author’s talent in his composing the legend.His practice of composing legends inherited the conventional ways from classical opera in South China after Ming and Qing dynasties,thus it was in high regard as the most prominent and attractive legend of Ming and Qing dynasties in the history of Chinese opera.
