清末洪兴曹记刻本川剧《义妖传雷峰塔》论略

On LeifengPagoda and the Honorable Daemon,a Sichuan Opera Printed by Hongxing Caoji

清末洪兴曹记刻本川剧《义妖传雷峰塔》全本,在继承白蛇故事主要叙事模式的同时,根据川剧自身的创演需要进行了多方面的改动。具体表现为:用转折、插叙及细节描写等手法浓缩剧情、突出重点;着意于刻画青狐身份的小丑王道灵,体现川剧"三小"特色;采用四川方言俗语,融入蜀人之宽容精神,呈现浓郁的川剧特色。此剧本的独特之处使其成为研究白蛇故事的珍贵材料,对清末川剧的创演活动及四川风俗民情的研究具有文献价值。

The complete edition of Leifeng Pagoda,and the Honorable Daemon,printed in the late Qing dynasty,inherits the plot of the white snake legend and makes alternations according to the need of performing Sichuan opera,including condensing and underscoring,highlighting the character Wang Daoling,adopting dialects and slang.The uniqueness of this script makes it an important document for studies on the white snake legend,Sichuan opera in the late Qing dynasty,and the folklore of Sichuan.
