高罗佩《大唐狄公案》中的青楼文化书写探析

The Exploration of Brothel Culture in Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee Written by Robert van Gulik

高罗佩在其《大唐狄公案》的多个篇章中,通过青楼文化的多元化呈现、青楼女子塑造中的女性主义意识以及青楼女子犯罪形象的人性化关照等不同方面,既投射出其对命途乖蹇的风尘女子表露出的浓郁的人道主义关怀,也反映了其力图展现复杂真实人性的创作希冀。由此,作为汉学家的高罗佩一方面为西方读者开启了一个认识、审视古代中国社会生活的特殊文化视角,潜在地反映了其对中国古代两性关系文化的独特思考和认知,另一方面又以女性主义色彩和复杂人性审视凸显出其在西方思想、文化背景下所映射出的理性反思精神,二者的有机融合折射了高罗佩在文学创作乃至学术研究中所秉持的一种取道东西、博采众长、兼收并蓄的基本理念。

Robert van Gulik, the Dutch sinologist, mounds the feminist mentality of girls in the whorehouse and his humanitarian care for these women with the criminal image through the diversification presentation of the brothel culture in many chapters of Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee. These writings not only expresses his strong humanitarian concerns for those prostitutes with tough fates, but also reflects his writing design to reveal the true and complicated humanity. On the one hand, Robert van Gulik, as a sinologist, opens a special cultural viewpoint in one hand to acquaint and scan the social life in ancient China and reflects his unique consideration and recognition to the sexual relations in ancient China. In the other hand, he shows out his rational spirit of retrospection under the background of the western conception and culture by means of the feminist color and complicated human nature. The organic integration of both reflects back his fundamental conception with combining the advantages from both east and west, learning the superiority from other strong points and absorbing anything and everything in his literary creation and even academic research.
