人鬼恋与人妖恋小说不同结局的原因及意义--以魏晋南北朝志怪小说为考察中心

The Reasons and Significance of the Different Endings of the Person Ghost Love Novel and the Person Monster Love Novel——A Case Study of the Fantastic Novel in Weijin South-North Dynasty

魏晋南北朝志怪小说中人鬼恋结局一般好于人妖恋,究其原因主要有二:一是鬼与精怪存在本质上的区别,鬼乃人死后的形态,精怪却是不同于人类的物种;二是人类对鬼和精怪的不同崇拜,鬼在人们心中的地位要高于精怪。这两项原因的本质,皆出于时人意识到自身与动物的区别,是人类生命意识的呈现,亦是对社会的讽刺和评判,并充分表现在小说的复生与生子情节中。而志怪小说的这种生命意识,亦与当时的诗歌相辉映,共同表现人们对待生命及社会的态度。

We can summarize and find that the ending of the Person Ghost Love Novel is better than the Person Monster Love Novel.There are two main reasons for this phenomenon:Firstly,this is essentially the difference between the ghost and monster,ghost is the form of people after death,while monster is a species different from humans;secondly,in people's minds,the position of monster is lower than ghost.The essence of these two reasons is that the people at that time realized the difference between themselves and the animals.This is a manifestation of human life consciousness and a kind of irony and judgment on society,it is also fully reflected in the resurrection plot and the born-child plot of the novel.In addition,this kind of life consciousness in the novel also reflects the poetry of that time and shows people's attitudes towards life and society.
