不同时代之写情,不同文人之忆语——《影梅庵忆语》与《秋灯琐忆》之比较研究

Sentiments Expressed in Different Times, Memories Recalled by Different Writers ——A Comparison between Yingmei An Yiyu and Qiudeng Suoyi

冒襄《影梅庵忆语》和蒋坦《秋灯琐忆》都是清代“忆语体”散文的代表,《秋灯琐忆》的文本接受与时代传播不如《影梅庵忆语》,这和人物的身份地位与时代影响相关。《秋灯琐忆》在行文结构与情感深度上不及《影梅庵忆语》。同时,风尘女子董小宛扎根心里的却是忠孝节义以自我成全;而才女秋芙则心向山野林泉在佛道文化中寻求自我解脱。因而,不同时代的写情与不同文人的忆语使文本展现了与众不同的精神面貌。

Mao Xiang s Yingmei An Yiyu and Jiang Tan s Qiudeng Suoyi are the representatives of the prose style of“reminiscence”in the Qing dynasty.Due to the two writers different status and influence on their times,the reception and spread of the later at that time was not as wide as the former.And the former also surpasses the latter in terms of text structure and depth of emotion.In the meantime,what rooted deep in the heart of Dong Xiaowan,a sporting lady,was self-fulfillment through loyalty,filial piety,integrity and righteousness,while the talented woman Qiufu,indulging in the nature,preferred to seek self-liberation through Buddhism and Taoism.Therefore,the sentiments expressed in different times and the reminiscences by different writers present various spirits and mentalities.
