论杭州作为《儒林外史》“空间铰链”的叙事功能

On the narrative function of Hangzhou as the“spatial hinge”in The Scholars

除南京外,《儒林外史》中的杭州也是重要的叙事空间,尤其是在小说的前半部分,杭州作为关键的“空间铰链”存在。作者以之为枢纽展开叙事,围绕杭州建构多个空间叙事场域。同时,作者又借其塑造人物、推动情节、构造场景,使之发挥关键的叙事功能。

In addition to Nanjing,Hangzhou in The Scholars is also an important narrative space,especially in the first half of the novel,in which Hangzhou exists as a key“spatial hinge”.The author takes it as the hub to carry out narration,and constructs multiple spatial narrative fields around Hangzhou.At the same time,the author uses it to shape characters,promote plots and construct scenes so as to make it play a key narrative function.
