论《牡丹亭》的梦境构建及其文化意蕴

On the Dream Construction of Peony Pavilion and Its Cultural Implication

作为"临川四梦"翘楚之作的《牡丹亭》,完美地体现了汤显祖"因情成梦,因梦成戏"的戏剧观。"梦"作为联结"情"和"戏"的桥梁,赋予了"情"以深广的内涵。这种"情"不仅含括了女主人公杜丽娘超越生死的"至情",同时也蕴含了汤显祖执着的入世之情;这个"梦"既是杜丽娘的"至情之梦",同时也是汤显祖的"政治之梦"。在对"梦"的抒写和构建中,彰显了汤显祖对女性生命意义的人道主义关怀以及隐藏在爱情表征下的香草美人式的政治寄托。
