《水浒传》与忠义文化

Outlaws of the Marsh and Loyalty Culture

“忠义”思想是《水浒传》的核心思想。然而,《水浒传》中的“忠义”却是一个矛盾统一体。它既是以儒墨兼容为主体的多家思想的超时空组合;又是众多作者在不同时代徘徊于统治阶级思维方式与广大民众思维方式之间错综复杂的表现。作为章回小说的《水浒传》,在经过广泛传播以后,又形成一种独具特色的“忠义”文化,并对后世广大读者产生深刻影响。

Loyalty was the core thought of Outlaws of the Marsh,however,it’s a contradictory unity.It’s not only a super time-space combination of many thoughts with the compatibility of Confucianism and Mohism as the main body,but also a complex performance of many writers wandering between the thinking modes of the ruling class and the masses in different times.As a chapter novel,Outlaws of the Marsh had formed a unique loyalty culture after its wide spread,and had a profound impact on the readers of later generations.
