摘要
《西瓜宝卷》(目前已知最早的写本为1867年)是19世纪以来苏南地区宝卷宣唱活动中所使用的叙述性文本的典型代表。《西瓜宝卷》利用了一个在民间广泛流传的母题来宣传对观音菩萨的信仰,从而实现了用说教、娱乐相结合的方式进行教化。以常熟的“讲经”为例,对《西瓜宝卷》的几个版本(时间为1867年至1989年间)进行比较,可以说明该宝卷在现代讲唱中的功能及文化意义的演变。
The Precious Scroll of Watermelons(the earliest known manuscript is dated 1867)is a representative example of narrative texts used in the scroll recitation practices of southern Jiangsu since the 19th century.It uses a subject widespread in folklore to propagate belief in Bodhisattva Guanyin,a popular Buddhist deity,and thus it combines indoctrination with didacticism and entertainment.A comparison of several variants of the Precious Scroll of Watermelons(falling in between 1867 and 1989)demonstrates the evolution of its functions and cultural meaning in the modern practice of precious scrolls recitation,taking“telling scriptures”of Changshu as an example.
