宫姬之回归: 历史性鬼故事与朝代覆亡

The Return of the Palace Lady:The Historical Ghost Story and Dynastic Fall

论文讨论了一种特殊类型的鬼故事,被称为“历史性鬼故事”,这类鬼故事通常以历史“受难者”或牺牲者为中心,其主题与个体死亡的故事紧密相关,隐喻了王朝的覆灭及由此产生的创伤。论文从十七世纪六种“林四娘”故事展开讨论,通过比较这些版本,对林四娘故事进行了类型区分,分析了故事的变体以及与之类似的“宫姬归来”的故事。“宫姬回归”的情节在怀古文学中占据主导地位,表达了对王朝辉煌和衰落的追悼。作者以林四娘故事为例,展示了“宫姬回归”类型的鬼故事如何成为悼明文化工程的一部分,使旧朝记忆重新浮现并最终得到安抚。这一过程突显了历史性鬼故事的独特意义,深刻探讨了这些故事与王朝覆灭的历史记忆之间的变化和蜕变。

This article discusses a particular type of ghost story,known as the“historical ghost story”,which is often centered on the historical“martyr”or victim,and its theme is closely related to the story of the death of the individual,as a metaphor for the fall of the dynasty and the resulting trauma.This paper discusses six kinds of“Lin Siniang”stories from the 17th century,distinguishes the types of Lin Siniang stories by comparing these versions,analyzes the variations of stories and similar stories of“the return of the court concubine”.The plot of this kind of story dominates the nostalgia literature,expressing the mourning for the glory and decline of the dynasty.Using the story of Lin Siniang as an example,the author shows how ghost stories of this type become part of the cultural project of mourning the Ming Dynasty,allowing the memories of the old dynasty to resurface and eventually be pacified.This process highlights the unique significance of historical ghost stories and explores the transformation and metamorphosis between these stories and the historical memory of the fall of dynasties.
