论莆仙戏《牡丹亭》的文本改编特色

On the Adaptation of Tang Xianzu’s Peony Pavilion of Puxian Opera

汤显祖的《牡丹亭》自问世以来便名声大噪,在后世出现了众多的改编本,作为福建五大剧种之一的莆仙戏也对其作出了改编。莆仙戏版的《牡丹亭》中人物形象发生了变异,主人公杜丽娘俗化倾向明显,配角形象趋于扁平化与诙谐化。人物形象的变异背后呈现出文人案头创作与实际演出间的矛盾,也体现出莆仙戏所承载的教化功能。同时,人物的宾白充斥着浓厚的地域色彩,值得探究。

Tang Xianzu’s Peony Pavilion has been famous since it came out.Many adaptations appeared in later generations.Puxian Opera,one of the five major operas in Fujian,also adapted it.In the Puxian version of Peony Pavilion,the image of the protagonist Du Liniang is obviously vulgar,while the supporting tends to be flat and humorous.Behind the variation of the characters image is the contradiction between the literati creation and the stage performance,and the reflection of cultivation function of Puxian Opera.These characters are strongly regional,also worth exploring.
