论“三言”“二拍”中爱情信物的价值

The Value of Love Keepsake in“San Yan”“Er Pai”

“三言”“二拍”作为明末世情小说的重要代表,描绘了市民阶层丰富浪漫的爱情故事。爱情信物作为见证青年男女爱情关系确立与发展的重要物件,不仅种类多样,而且能够影响文本,使人物性格更加突出,形象更加丰满,情节更加曲折,主题更加明晰。“三言”“二拍”中的爱情信物也是了解社会的一个窗口,它既可以反映出宋元明时期商业经济的快速发展、商人地位的提高、男女实际地位的不平等,可以展现出长久形成的民俗文化赋予的美好寓意,还可以映射出时代对“情”的强烈需求。

“San Yan”“Er Pai”,as an important representative of the world love novels in the late Ming Dynasty,depicts a rich and romantic love story of the civil class.As an important object to witness the establishment and development of young men’s and women’s love relationship,love keepsakes not only have various types,but also can affect the text,making the characters more prominent,the image more plump,the plot more tortuous,and the theme more clear.The love keepsakes in“San Yan”and“Er Pai”are also a window to understand society.They can not only reflect the rapid development of the commercial economy,the improvement of the status of businessmen,and the inequality of the actual status of men and women in the Song,Yuan and Ming Dynasties,but also show the beautiful moral given by the long-standing folk culture.They can also reflect the emancipation of human nature and the affirmation of emotion by the cultural trends of thought such as psychology and childlike innocence.
