《牡丹亭》中“梦”之构造与情理之争

The Structure of"Dream"and the Conflict between Emotion and Reason in Peony Pavilion

《牡丹亭》作为汤显祖"临川四梦"之首,通过对梦境的构造展现出现实中无法到达的理想世界,体现出理想与现实的差距。同时"梦"又推动了戏剧情节的发展与人物形象的转变,使得剧情结构层层递进,情理冲突更加激烈,最终达到以"情"反"理"的目的,在情理之争中高扬起代表着人性觉醒与自由解放的"至情"旗帜。

As the first work-piece among Tang Xianzu’s series of works"Four Dreams in Linchuan",Peony Pavilion depicts the ideal world that is inaccessible in reality through the construction of dreams,manifesting the gap between ideal and reality.In the meantime,these"dreams"propels the development of the dramatic plot and the transformation of the characters,which renders the plot progressive and the conflict between emotion and reason more intense,finally achieving the purpose of defying"reason"with"emotion".In the clash between emotion and reason,the banner of"supreme emotion"which represents man’s awakening,freedom and liberation is raised highly.
