“老鼠嫁女”故事中的主体意识表达

The Subjective Consciousness in the Story Mouse Daughter to Marry

《五卷书》中的“老鼠嫁女”故事流传广泛,异文丰富,寓意在不断变化。原故事取自民间,其蕴藏的女性主体意识与《五卷书》歧视女性的官方书写形成鲜明对比。异文中,鼠类通过不断寻找最强大者,对自身的力量、价值由不自知到幡然醒悟和自我肯定,隐喻了底层民众主体意识的萌发;有的鼠不满所处底层现状,与命运抗争试图消弭社会等级、力量的差距,彰显了个体主体性的确立。故事中流淌的女性的、底层民众的、个体的主体意识在今天仍具有启发意义。

The story Mouse Daughter to Marry in The Pancatantra is widely circulated,with rich variations and constantly changing morals.The original story is taken from the folk,and its implicit female subjectivity is in sharp contrast to the official writing of The Pancatantra that discriminates against women.In the variant texts,the mouse,by searching for the strongest,move from being unaware of their own strength and value to being suddenly awakened and self-affirmed,which metaphorically reflects the germination of the subjective consciousness of the lower class of people;Some mice are dissatisfied with the status quo at the bottom,and struggle with fate in an attempt to bridge the gap between social class and power,highlighting the establishment of individual subjectivity.
