《新刻绣像批评金瓶梅》中的“梦叙述”

The Dream Narratiye in Jin Ping Mei Xiuxiang Text

梦是在潜意识中发生的一种叙事行为,具有文本性和叙述性。梦叙述具有叙述“可靠性”及“拟经验性”特征,文学文本常借助梦境描写来反映人物心理,凸显人物形象,推动情节发展,完善叙事结构。虽然文学文本中的梦境描写无法等同于真实的梦叙述,但文本世界中的人物仍然与现实世界中的人一样具有梦叙述的能力,且以文字为载体的直接梦境描写同样可以强化其视觉效果,呈现出类真实梦叙述的画面感。《新刻绣像批评金瓶梅》中有多次关于梦、白日梦、幻觉的人物心像描写,其中的直接梦境描写与梦叙述具有高度的一致性。借助梦叙述分析绣像本《金瓶梅》中的直接梦境描写,关注梦中叙述者与受述者之间的信息传递,可帮助我们更好地理解绣像本《金瓶梅》的梦幻主题。

Dreaming is a narrative act in the subconscious,which makes dreams narrative texts.Dream narrative has the narrative characteristics of“reliability”and“quasi-experienciality”.Literary texts often use dream descriptions to reflect the psychological activities of characters,to highlight the character images,to promote the development of plots,and to improve the narrative structures.Although dream descriptions in literary texts are not the same as dream narratives in the real world,characters in the text world are still capable of dreaming as people in the real world,and the direct dream descriptions with words can also enhance their visual effect,presenting a picture similar to dream narrative.There are numerous dream descriptions in Jin Ping Mei Xiuxiang Text,including dreams,daydreams,and hallucinations.The direct dream description and the dream narrative are highly consistent.Therefore,applying the theory of dream narrative to analyze the direct dream descriptions in Jin Ping Mei Xiuxiang Text,focusing on the information delivered between the narrators and the narratees,this paper will offer a better understanding on Jin Ping Mei Xiuxiang Text's theme of dream.
