郑瑜杂剧研究三题

Three Academic Issues on Zheng Yu’s Zaju Research

明末清初戏曲家郑瑜在杂剧创作方面有独到之处,所作杂剧现存四种,合称“郢中四雪”。对于“郢中四雪”的创作时间学界尚无统一看法,结合郑瑜的生平经历及其杂剧的主题思想,可推断四种杂剧当为清初所作。明清易代的时代环境造就了郑瑜杂剧的风格,其杂剧的主人公皆为命运多舛、时运不济的封建文人,同时也是作者抒发心中块垒的代言人。作为遗民剧作家,郑瑜剧作体现了杂剧转型时期的时代风貌。

Zheng Yu,a dramatist in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties,has unique style of Zaju.Four of his opera works left,collectively known as Ying Zhong Si Xue.However,there is no conclusion in the academic field about when they were written.Considering Zheng Yu’s life experience and the theme of his works,we can infer that the four dramas came out in the early Qing Dynasty.In his dramas,the protagonists were all scholars who experienced a hard life in the transformation of the times and the author expressed his own indignity through their mouths.His works reflected the features of the times in the transitional period since he was an adherent playwright.
