《金瓶梅词话》卜筮书写意蕴论

On the meaning of the divination in Jin Ping Mei Ci Hua

卜筮是我国古代特有的一种习俗,《金瓶梅词话》中多回都有卜筮活动的描写。与早期的卜筮活动相比,《词话》中的卜筮活动无论是地位还是形式都发生了变化,《词话》中卜筮活动的功利性以及市民对卜筮的态度也反映了明代卜筮活动世俗化这一特点,体现了卜筮活动在明代特殊的文化背景下的变化。在艺术方面,卜筮活动的书写也起到了叙事上的预叙作用,是小说结构的纲之所在,卜筮活动的书写也使小说人物形象更加丰富、立体。

Divination is a unique custom in ancient China,and there are descriptions of divination activities in multiple chapters of Jin Ping Mei Ci Hua.Compared with early divination activities,the divination activities in it have undergone changes in both status and form.The utilitarian nature of divination activities and the attitude of citizens towards divination also reflect the secularization of divination activities in the Ming Dynasty,reflecting the changes of divination activities in the special cultural background of the Ming Dynasty.In terms of art,the writing of divination activities also plays a pre-narrative role,which is the key to the structure of the novel.The writing of divination activities also makes the characters in the novel richer and more three-dimensional.
