试论宋传奇的叙事特征

On Narration Features in Song Legends

宋传奇是继繁荣而成熟的唐传奇之后出现的一种文言短篇小说创作,它既是唐传奇创作的延续和发展,同时也标志着文言短篇小说创作的转型,并且下接明清文言短篇小说创作。唐、宋传奇虽是一脉相承,但基在叙事方式上却存在着鲜明的差异性。通过分析宋传奇在叙事风格、叙事写作方法、人物形象塑造、叙事细节、叙事艺术方面的不足,赋予其文化学意义,指出宋传奇的平淡叙事是和两宋时期新的社会文化环境分不开的,特别是儒家思想、佛教、道教等思想文化,深刻地影响了宋代传奇创作。

The Legend of Song Dynasty is a kind of classical short story creation following the prosperous and mature legend of Tang Dynasty.It is not only the continuation and development of the creation of the legend of Tang Dynasty,but also the transformation of the creation of the short story of classical Chinese,and then the creation of the short story of classical Chinese in Ming and Qing Dynasties.Although the legends of Tang and song are in the same line,there are distinct differences in the narrative mode.By analyzing the shortcomings of song legend in narrative style,narrative writing method,characterization,narrative details and narrative art,and giving it cultural significance,this paper points out that the plain narrative of song legend is inseparable from the new social and cultural environment and social culture of Song Dynasty,especially Confucianism,Buddhism,Taoism and other thoughts and cultures,which deeply influenced the spread of Song Dynasty Strange creation.
