中国灰姑娘故事婚姻叙事规则

The Narrative Rules of Marriages in Chinese Cinderella Stories

中国灰姑娘故事以“婚姻”为叙事核心,围绕“婚姻”,灰姑娘故事中的有效叙事以“加害”和“帮助”为主要驱动进行讲述。随着故事情节的推进,叙事波折不断增大,叙事节奏力度不断加强,极大满足了听众的期待视野。在既定期待视野满足的基础上,故事若想围绕主人公继续向前发展,其叙事波折应当不小于此前情节所造成的叙事波折。而故事中的无效叙事则是对部分情节的进一步补充,同时,加诸无效叙事中的地域叙事传统为无效叙事进入故事提供了可能。在有效叙事与无效叙事的共同作用下,中国灰姑娘故事表现出形态复杂而结构多样的特点。
