《竹叶舟》元本与臧本之比较

A Comparison of Two Versions of The Bamboo Foliage Boat

元人范康所作的《陈季卿悟道竹叶舟》,在内容上受到了全真道教的影响并反映出人生如梦,功名无益,不如入道成仙的思想。而臧懋循收入《元曲选》的《陈季卿误上竹叶舟》,有较大的改动痕迹,反映出了臧氏对道教的怀疑态度。这与当时帝王宠信方士、滥杀大臣、穷奢极欲、不理朝政的现实有着密切的联系。

Chen Jiqing Awaked to the Truth in the Bamboo Foliage Boat, written by Fan Kang in the Yuan Dynasty, is influenced by the Quanzhen Taoism and reflects the thought that since life is like a dream and official rank is worthless, it's better to be a Taoist and thus attain immortality. While in the version The Anthology of Yuan Dramas, compiled by Zang Maoxun, there are lots of modifications reflecting Zang's suspicion towards Taoism, this is closely related to the situation at that time when the emperor specially liked and trusted the necromancers, killed the ministers indiscriminately, indulged himself in luxury and extravagance and neglected the state affairs.
