被狼吻的“花间美人”——从《西厢记》中崔莺莺说开去

The Beauty among the Flowers Kissed by Wicked Man --Starting from Cui Ying-ying in " The Western Chamber

王实甫《西厢记》中的千古美人崔莺莺只不过是想象世界里的一个虚幻的美人神话 ,是艺术家充分理想化的产物。红颜薄命、“自古美人遭狼吻”这才是美人历史的本来面目。本文笔者站在女性主义文化思维的视点上 ,试图用别样的眼光———即撇开《西厢记》的文学史或美学方面的研究 ,而仅仅借《西厢记》中的美人 (崔莺莺 )的故事为由头 ,来思考一些关于“美人”的文化话题。

Cui Yingying, a beauty in Wang Shifu's ' The Western Chamber ', is only a imaginary heroine and the writer's fully-idealized result. Such sayings as ' A beautiful lady has often an unfortunate life ' and ' The beauty is often kissed by the wicked man ' are the good portraits of the true colors of those historical beauties. In the paper, the author, starting from the point of feminist cultural ideation, tries to explore some cultural topics about the beauty, with the story of Cui Yingying as an example.
