“大团圆”模式的儒学渊源

Confucian Origin of the Construction of the "Happy Reunion

中国悲剧文学中的“大团圆”结构模式渊源于“乐感”精神的观点 ,缺乏文化依据和文本支持。“大团圆”结构模式是由儒家文化所规定的。在儒家文化的影响和制约下 ,中国叙事文学注重“信实” ,而“信实”之作又往往与儒家的道德理想抵牾不合 ,于是作家们不得不在主体故事之外加上一个“大团圆”的尾巴 ,以实现“惩恶扬善”的功利目的 ,张扬理想道德和理想人格 ,并使情感的发泄归于中正平和。

The structure of the 'Happy reunion 'in Chinese tragic literature didn't originate from people's optimism. It came from Confucian culture. Influenced by Confucian culture, Chinese literature stress realness of content. However ,the works which contents were real always conflicted with Confucian morality. So writers had to add a 'tail' of the 'happy reunion' to their works so that their works could realize Confucian morality utility: 'punish evildoer and praise good person', and made emotion become moderate.
