由景入情:论士人游历对晚明戏曲的影响

Expressing Feeling through Scenery: On the Fashion of Travel among Literati and Its Influence on Xiqu during the Late Ming Period

士人尚游历,在晚明时期成为社会上的一股显著风气,士人游历之风的盛行尤其对当时的戏曲创作与发展具有明显影响。主要体现在:一、晚明戏曲家士人群体多有尚游之举;二、晚明戏曲在题材和内容择取上多具备士人角色游历描写要素;三、晚明戏曲从文体到结构都因此产生新的变化。晚明戏曲结撰所涉及运用的游历描写模式,不但符合古典戏曲叙事机制的要求,同时也表现其审美艺术特征。

The rising fashion of travel among literati during the late Ming period significantly influenced the creation and development of xiqu. As many late-Ming playwrights shared great interest in travel, the choice of xiqu’s theme and content also included portrayals of travel experiences. As a result, xiqu developed new features in its style and structure during this period. The model of portraying travel experiences in xiqu during the late-Ming period not only accorded with the requirement of xiqu’s narrative mechanism, but also displayed its aesthetic characteristics and artistic features.
