试论僧尼道姑情爱在中晚明戏曲小说中的文学表现

The Literary Demonstration of Love of Monks and Nuns in Dramas and Novels in Mid and Late Ming Dynasty

宗教基本上都具有禁欲倾向。中晚明异端思想涌起,大胆肯定人欲价值和世俗生活的合理性。于是,在戏曲小说中对不危害他人的僧尼道姑的情爱行为予以宽容和同情。作品以僧尼道姑的人性,去揭露宗教禁欲主义的荒谬和愚昧。而淫僧恶尼的肆意淫乐,正是禁欲主义下的变态行为,是宗教禁欲下的情欲迷误。

Any religion has the tendency of asceticism. T he heretical thoughts sp rung up in the mid and late Ming Dynasty boldly affirming the value of human des ire and the rationality of secular life. Therefore, the love affairs of the monk s and nuns, if harmless to others, accepted tolerance and sympathy in novels and dramas. These works described the humanity of monks and nuns in order to expose absurdity and ignorance of religious asceticism and to show that the dissipatio n of the monks and nuns was abnormal behavior and misleading passion under the p ressure of asceticism.
