伦理批评视野下的《赵太祖千里送京娘》故事流变

The Ethical Changing of"Emperor Taizu Escorts Jingniang on a One Thousands-Li Journey"in the Late Ming Dynasty

《警世通言》第二十一卷《赵太祖千里送京娘》是世代累积型的作品。冯梦龙编辑时加入“京娘自杀”伦理结,体现晚明尊情与风教共存的风气。故事流变实反应故事来源中历史与民间伦理的对立,文学与历史的显影、阴阳二重性与因果伦理的断裂。冯梦龙提出的“情教”作为小说创作的典型策略之一,试图将因果报应这一普遍道德伦理结构与“情”结合,填充文本空隙,使之向传统历史叙事话语靠拢,又制造了新的伦理矛盾与冲突。这启示我们应以伦理学眼光重新审视传统故事流变与文史互证等研究方法。

"Emperor Taizu Escorts Jingniang on a One Thousands-Li Journey"is a cumulative work of generations in Volume Twenty-one in"Stories to Caution the World".Feng Menglong added the ethical knot of"Jing Niang's suicide"in his editing,and reflecting the social atmosphere of the late Ming Dynasty.The evolution of the story reflects the contradiction between history and folk ethics,the development of literature and history,and the duality of ethical dimension.As a typical strategy of literati writing,Qingjiao was proposed by Feng Menglong as a try to fill the gap of the text with the universal moral and ethical structure of karma in the texts,making it close to the traditional historical narrative discourse.However,because of the folk nature of the text,it creates new ethical contradictions and conflicts.This suggests that we should re-examine the traditional research methods of story changing study and the methodology of literature and history mutual verification from the perspective of ethics.
