发前人子弟书研究未有之新声——写在《满族说唱文学子弟书与满汉文化融合研究》前面

Introduction to Study on Zidi Shu(子弟书) and Integration of Manchu and Han Cultures

子弟书是乾隆初兴,光绪末衰落,百多年历史的满族民间说唱艺术,郑振铎、孙楷第、傅惜华、阿英、赵景深、吴晓玲、关德栋等现当代俗文学研究大家,均有专论。与这些前辈成果相比,王立教授《满族说唱文学子弟书与满汉文化融合研究》一书,另发新声。无论是对子弟书中“悲秋主题”“牡丹意象”“类型形象”“叙事艺术与伦理关怀”等继承、改编的文学——审美之学理探究,还是对子弟书与《三国演义》《水浒传》《金瓶梅》《聊斋》等古典小说关系考辨,发前人未有之声,在子弟书研究史上增添了新的信息量。与此前多将视野放在子弟书与戏曲、曲艺相互关系的研究,而忽视子弟书与古代文学观念及长篇章回小说关系之探究,形成鲜明反差,也抓住了子弟书文学史、文化史价值的本质。

Zidi Shu(子弟书)is a Manchu folk talking-singing art with a history of more than one hundred years,which was born in the early Qianlong period and declined at the end of the Guangxu period.Zheng Zhenduo,Sun Kaidi,Fu Xihua,A Ying,Zhao Jingshen,Wu Xiaoling,Guan Dedong and other modern and contemporary folk literature researchers all have monographs on it.Compared with these predecessors’achievements,Professor Wang Li makes new progress in his book,Study on Zidi Shu(子弟书)and Integration of Manchu and Han Cultures.Whether in the theoretical exploration of the theme of feeling sad with the coming of the autumn,peony image,type image and narrative art and ethical concern,or the textual research on the relationship between Zidi Shu(子弟书)and the classical novels such as Three Kingdoms,Water Margin,Golden Lotus and Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio,the author has added new information to the Zidi Shu(子弟书)research.In contrast to the previous studies focusing on the relationship between Zidi Shu(子弟书)and opera and Quyi,ignoring the exploration of the relationship between Zidi Shu(子弟书)and ancient literary concepts and the traditional Chinese novels with each chapter headed by a couplet giving the gist of its content,He also grasps the essence of the value of Zidi Shu(子弟书)in literary history and cultural history.
