以词为小说:琼瑶小说的词体特征刍议

Using Lyrics as Novels:A Preliminary Discussion on the Characteristics of Lyric Style in Qiong Yao’s Novels

琼瑶小说与中国古典文学有着密不可分的渊源关系,就文学体裁来看,琼瑶小说首先是小说,但其与词这一文学体裁的关系更为密切。除了在文本层面以词句命名小说题目和为表达需要而引用和仿写词之外,琼瑶小说更在深层的人物形象、叙述视角、内容风格等方面具备了词体特征。这些特征一方面增加了小说的文化底蕴和可读性,形成了独特的琼瑶式风格;另一方面在一定程度上导致了琼瑶小说内容单一、风格单调的缺点。

Qiong Yao’s novels have an inseparable relationship with Chinese classical literature.In terms of literary genre,her novels are primarily novels,but their relationship with the literary genre of lyrics and poetry is even closer.In addition to naming the novel title based on words and phrases at the textual level and citing and imitating words for expression needs,the novels have more profound characteristics in terms of character images,narrative perspectives,and content styles.These features,on the one hand,enhance the cultural heritage and readability of the novel,forming a unique Qiong Yao style;on the other hand,it has to some extent led to the shortcomings of Qiong Yao’s novels being single in content and monotonous in style.
