六朝志怪小说中的鬼前知故事特色初探

A Preliminary Study of Distinguishing Features of Stories of Ghosts with Precognition in Mythical Tales in the Six Dynasties

六朝志怪小说种类纷繁,内涵丰富,鬼前知故事尤为显著。笔者以叙事学、美学理论阐释六朝志怪小说中的鬼前知故事,并与六朝志怪中的神、仙、怪等前知故事或非前知鬼故事进行比较,发现鬼前知故事亦颇具特色。超时空、跨视角的叙事艺术,期盼生命价值与意义的延续的思辨哲学,弥补现实缺陷的原始艺术思维,均值得一观。

There were numerous types of mythical tales with rich connotation in the Six Dynasties,especially stories of ghosts with precognition.The author attempts to expound the stories of ghosts with precognition on the basis of narratology and the aesthetic theory and compare them with the precognition stories about gods,immortals,and monsters and the stories of ghosts without precognition.It is found that those stories of ghosts with precognition reveal distinguishing features.The stories are worth reading due to the narrating art of super dimension and cross perspective,speculative philosophy of expecting continuation of life value and meaning and primitive artistic thought of compensating the defects in real life.
