元杂剧听琴模式的文学表达及内涵阐释--以《西厢记》和《沙门岛张生煮海》为例

The Literary Expression and Connotation Interpretation of the Listening Mode of Guqin in Yuan Zaju--Taking the Romance of the West Chamber and Zhang Sheng Cooking the Sea on Shamen Island as Examples

王实甫的《西厢记》和李好古的《沙门岛张生煮海》两部杂剧均以才子佳人的爱情故事为主线,虽然剧情的展开各不相同,但其中都有一个相似的情节--听琴模式的设置。这种模式在元杂剧长期的创作实践中已形成自身的文学表达及文化内涵:一方面是从知音者到倾慕者,以委婉含蓄、中正平和的琴声进行中国式的爱情表达,是“以琴传情”的不断深化;另一方面是从听琴环境、琴声描绘到情操陶冶的雅化和诗化,戏曲文学因此有了更高的审美价值。

The Romance of the West Chamber written by Wang Shifu and Zhang Sheng Cooking the Sea on Shamen Island written by Li Haogu both regard gifted scholars and beautiful ladies’loving stories as main thread.Though the progress of the plots are different in these two plays,there are still a similar plot--the setting of the listening mode of Guqin.The mode has formed its own literary expression and cultural connotation during the long-time creation practice of Yuan Zaju.On the one hand,it is the role transformation from the bosom friend to admirer.To express love in a Chinese way through euphemistic,restrained and moderate sound.It has deepened the expression of love by Guqin.On the other hand,it is the poetization and elegance of the listening environment,the sound description and the edification of sentiment.And traditional opera literary has higher aesthetic value on this account.
