《水浒传》与《红楼梦》叙事结构之比较

Narrative Structure of the Water Margin and A Dream of Red Mansion

《水浒传》和《红楼梦》的叙事结构看似完全不同,但进行深入分析后又有着异曲同工之妙。都凭借着一块“灵石”和“女神形象”将中心人物及隐藏的主旨贯穿其中。通过“石头记”叙事模式和“女仙指路”叙述模式两种形式对《水浒传》与《红楼梦》的叙事结构展开对比分析,可知文学发展的演变是具有一定规律性的,同时也是我国古代小说叙事演变进程中的自我调节与更新的结果。

The narrative structures of the Water Margin and A Dream of Red Mansion seem to be completely different, but after in-depth analysis, they are found to have similarities and differences. Both have a“stone”and a“goddess figure”that bring the central character and the hidden theme through them. Therefore, in this paper, the narrative structure of the Water Margin and A Dream of Red Mansion is compared and analyzed in two forms: the Stone Story narrative mode and the Road of the Goddess narrative mode. It is also the result of self-regulation and renewal in the process of narrative evolution of ancient novels.
