“出世”与“入世”——由凌霞阁杂剧看茅维的矛盾选择

Out of the World and Entering the World:On the Contradictory Choice of Mao Wei from the Ling Xia Ge Zaju

凌霞阁杂剧是明末清初戏曲家茅维在科举无望、入仕无门之时创作的戏曲作品。作者借戏曲这一“末技”来抒发其内心情感,隐约向世人透露出其内心的矛盾抉择。其中不仅体现出茅维积极“入世”的乐观态度,同时也隐含着作者个人悲观“出世”的消极情绪。这与茅维个人经历、时代背景等因素有着密不可分的联系。

The Lingxia Pavilion drama of the late Ming Dynasty opera artist Mao Wei is a drama work created by the author when his imperial examination is hopeless.The author expresses his inner feelings by means of drama,which is the last skill,and reveals his inner contradiction to the world.It not only reflects his optimistic attitude towards“entering the world”,but also implies the pessimistic and negative emotion of“out of the world”.This is closely related to Mao Wei's personal experience,background and other factors.
