从南戏《张协状元》看“末”脚的机趣之美

A Study on the Witty Beauty of the“Mo”Role from Nanxi(Southern Drama)of Top Scholar Zhang Xie

南戏《张协状元》中的“末”脚看似游离于戏剧之外,但实际贯穿于全剧之中,具体表现为“末”脚的开场及与“净”“丑”等脚色的配合性表演。“末”脚的游离和配合性表演在语言及表演方面体现出反讽、机巧、智慧、风趣、深刻、超然的机趣之美。这种语言风格和表演模式会通禅宗,承继优戏、参军戏、宋杂剧,反映出戏剧发展中的时代文化背景和脚色传承。

The“Mo”role in Nanxi(Southern Drama)of Top Scholar Zhang Xie seems to be outside the drama,but it actually runs through the drama plot from beginning to end,as proved by its opening and its cooperation with roles like“Jing”(the painted face)and“Chou”(the clown).The free and cooperative performance of the“Mo”role reflects the irony,cleverness,wisdom,humor,depth,and transcendental beauty of the language and performance.This language style and performance are connected with Zen Buddhism and inherit the excellent dramas and the poetic dramas of the Song Dynasty,reflecting the cultural background and role inheritance of the times in the development of drama.
