由《西洲曲》引发的两篇聊斋故事——《荷花三娘子》《王桂庵》

The two stories Aunt Lotus and Wang Gui'an in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio were inspired by Western Songs

《西洲曲》是南朝民歌的代表作,历来被视为“言情之绝唱”,影响深远。这首诗有两个意象为蒲松龄属意,其一是荷塘,其二是门前的乌桕树。两篇小说多次借用梦境、荷花、马缨花(颜色相当于秋季的乌桕树)等情节来渲染人物的生存环境,塑造人物性格,推动情节进展。总体看来,从人物形象到小说意境,都充溢着“西洲”神韵。

Western Songs is the masterpiece of folk songs in the Southern Dynasties,It has always been regarded as“the swan song of romance”and has far-reaching influence.The poem has two images,named Pu Songling,as the Lotus Pond and the Chinese tallow tree in front of the gate.The plots of the two novels use dreams,lotus flowers,Ma Yinghua(the color of the Chinese tallow tree)as a reference to describe the character's living environment,so as to make the plot progress.In general,from the character image to the novel artistic conception,are full of“Xizhou”charm.
