《长生殿》和《桃花扇》历史材料甄选之比较

Comparison on the Historical Materials of Longlife Palace and Peach Blossom Fan

《长生殿》和《桃花扇》几乎是同时期产生的以历史为题材的传奇,洪昇和孔尚任在进行具体的历史材料的处理上有许多共同之处,二人都不拘泥于史实,在细微处都做了进一步的虚构、点染、移花接木,但同时他们在史料的处理方式上又各有特点:《长生殿》借史写情,“凡史家秽语,概削不书”,表现了作者的曲家情怀;《桃花扇》借情写史,“确考实地,全无假借”,表达了作者一定的史家意识。

Longlife Palace is contemporary with Peach Blossom Fan as history-adopted short stories. Hong Shen and Kong Shangren much in common with each other,for that they did not be refrained from the history and make further fictions and changes in details. Moreover,they had their own distinguishing features in dealing with the historical materials:Longlife Palace give expression to love and feelings through historical description and did not express the opposite views of historian,which conveys the composer’s spirit of the author. Peach Blossom Fan narrated history as recounted the love and feelings and accorded with the history,which delivers a kind of historian consciousness.
