《歧路灯》与《西游记》

Branch-road Lamp and Journey to the West

李绿园《〈歧路灯〉自序》以《西游记》“幻而张之……惑世诬民”,但《歧路灯》对《西游记》主旨结构都有所借鉴,同时书中保存了清代中州《西游记》戏剧演出和孙悟空崇祀风俗的宝贵资料。

Although Li Lvyuan says that Journey to the West exaggerates the power of magic and bewitches the world in his“Preface to Branch-road Lamp”,the book referenced the theme and structure of Journey to the West.Meanwhile,it preserved some valuable materials such as the dramatic performance of Journey to the West in Zhongzhou in the Qing Dynasty and the worship of Sun Wukong.
