从文人案头到勾栏瓦肆:《聊斋志异》传播的平民化趋向——试论《聊斋志异》的说唱改编

From Literati Desk to Public Bar House:The Trend of the Popularization of Strange Stories from Liaozhai——On the Storytelling Adaptation of Strange Stories from Liaozhai

当前学术界在《聊斋志异》说唱改编的研究中已有不少积淀,但对于《聊斋志异》作为文言小说从文人案头到勾栏瓦肆面向大众的通俗文学沿革研究尚显不足。本文针对清中叶以后讲唱文学蓬勃发展背景,论述《聊斋志异》虽然早期接受群体主要集中在知识分子中,但不可避免地逐渐出现受众群下沉的情况,其表现就是聊斋说唱的兴起。究其原因,一是讲唱文学繁荣大环境使然,其次,蒲松龄本人的参与也起到推波助澜的关键作用。

The current academic circle has a lot of accumulation in the study of the storytelling and ballade singing adaptation of Strange Tales from Liaozhai,but the research of its evolution from a classic novel on the literati desk to the form of popular arts is still insufficient.In view of the background of the vigorous development of singing literature after the mid-Qing Dynasty,this paper discusses that although the early acceptance group of Strange Stories from Liaozhai was mainly concentrated in intellectuals,gradually the audience inevitably sank to the lower class,which was manifested by the rise of Liaozhai storytelling and ballade singing.The reasons are as follows:first,the flourishing environment of singing literature is the general background;secondly,Pu Songling's own participation also plays a key role in promoting it.
