论《水浒传》中骈文的来源及其对后世小说的影响

On the Origin of Parallel Prose in Water Margin and Its Influence on Later Novels

《水浒传》包含大量描述性骈文,它们以人物描写为主,以景物描写、场景描写等为辅。它们主要来源于民间说唱,又成为明清章回小说中骈文的一个共同来源。这表明,在明清大多数章回小说编撰者的心目中,描写人物、风景、场景的骈文是章回小说必不可少的有机部分,而《水浒传》为章回小说在白描手法、结构方式、编撰方法等方面提供了典范。

Water Margin contains a lot of descriptive passages with parallel structure and ornate words which mainly describe characters,landscape and scenes as well.They mainly stem from folk story-telling and singing and became a common source of parallel prose in the novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties later.They showed that in the minds of most writers of Zhanghui novels in the Ming and Qing Dynasties,parallel prose,which described characters,landscapes and scenes,was an indispensable part of novels,and Water Margin provided a model for novels in terms of descriptive technique,structure and compilation methods.
