《舞论》的两类抄本与整体结构分析

Two Kinds of the Manuscripts of Natyasastra and the Analysis of Its Holistic Structure

印度学界一般认为,古代梵语文艺理论家婆罗多的《舞论》存在南传本和北传本两类抄本文献,它们既有相似,也存在某些差异。《舞论》的结构看似复杂无序,实则有某种规律可循,循环结构或框架性结构是其基本特色。整体上看,似乎可用一种诗学论、三大艺术论、四种表演论概括《舞论》的全部内容。

It is generally believed in the Indian academic circle that there are two kinds of the transcripts of(Natyasastra)by the ancient Sanskrit literary theorist Bharata,i.e.the Southern version and the Northern one,which are both similar and different.The structure of seems to be complex and disorderly,but in fact there are some rules to follow,and the circular structure or circular frame structure highlights Bharata’s main narrative style.On the whole,it seems that one poetics theory,three art theories and four performance theories can be used to summarize the entire content of Natyasastra.
