“清官情结”文化探源

Cultural Perceptionon the Worship of Honest and Upright Officials of Chinese Drama

清官是中国戏剧中的类型人物。宋元至今,清官戏大量涌现并不断演绎,形成了中国戏曲源远流长的“清官崇拜”情结。清官故事和清官崇拜情结何以能被民众喜闻乐见,千载传颂,从文化批评的视阈看这是中华民族集体无意识中惩恶扬善的伦理诉求、社会公正的大众期许以及英雄神话的文学位移的结果,有着深厚的民族文化内涵。

The honest and upright officials are the type characters in Chinese drama.Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties,a large number of the honest and upright officials have emerged and continued to perform,forming a long-standing worship of the impartial officials.How can the honest and upright officials'stories be enjoyed by the people and praised for thousands of years.From the perspective of cultural criticism,this is the result of the ethical appeal of punishing the evil and promoting the good in the collective unconscious of the Chinese nation,the public expectation of Social Justice and the literary displacement of the Hero Myth,which has a profound national cultural connotation.
