《西游记》中动物的伦理情感偏向论析——以龙、猪、鱼、猴为考察对象

On the Ethical Emotional Bias of the Animals in Journey to theWest——Taking Pragons,Pigs,Fish,and Monkeys as the Main Objects of Investigation

动物伦理叙事具有伦理身份的文化倾向性,不同族群对动物伦理具有不同的情感偏向。在文学伦理学批评的透视之下解读《西游记》,在动物伦理情感偏向这个维度上可以获得新的发现。《西游记》中的动物叙述有着与汉民族不同的情感偏向:龙、鱼、鹿、羊、狮子、大象、牛等竟然都是唐僧师徒西天取经路上的恶魔,它们对恶的伦理选择造成了唐僧西天取经中的主要磨难;而猴子、猪则是唐僧的护法,在西天取经路上惩恶扬善。《西游记》中动物的伦理选择表明,西游故事的生成超越汉文化而另有域外文化的来源。

Under the perspective of Ethical Literary Criticism,there is a new discovery in Journey to the West.The animal narrative in it has different emotion bias from Han nationality:dragon,fish,deer,sheep,lion,elephant,cattle,etc.,are all the demons while monkey and boar are protectors of Monk Tang on the way to the pilgrimage.The ethical choice of the animals tells that the becoming of the stories has the sources out of Han culture,which is of great value and significance to the author research,book writing research and archetype study of Journey to the West.
