《牡丹亭·冥判》论析——汤显祖与无情现实的对抗

An Analysis of The Peony Pavilion-Judgment of the Underworld——The Confrontation Between Tang Xianzu,an Emotional Playwright,and Ruthless Reality

《牡丹亭》第二十三出《冥判》,作为女主人公杜丽娘起死回生的转折点,是全剧的重要关节。汤显祖不吝笔墨,以细腻的笔法和亦庄亦谐的笔调描写阴间,展示胡判官复杂的人物形象,意在表达他对现实社会的控诉,对女性的人文关怀以及对“至情论”的宣扬。

As the turning point of Du Liniang′s resurrection,Judgment of the Underworld,the 23rd chapter of The Peony Pavilion,is an important joint of the whole play.Tang Xianzu spared no effort to describe the underworld with exquisite brushwork and seriocomic style,showing Judge Hu′s complex characters,in order to express his accusation of the real society,his humanistic care for women and his"theory of supreme feelings".
