《西游记》创作心理动因探源

On Creative Psychological Motive of Travel to West Heaven for Buddhist Scriptures

结合吴承恩的生平经历和其他相关材料,小说《西游记》的创作的心理动因可从两方面进行分析。首先,从他的人生经历看.其童年经验的潜藏对他后来创作的个性,作品的独特意蕴形成有不可低估的作用;而他的才性气质的充润也对其创作有重要影响。其次,从传统和时代看,其外在辅就的心理动机也分两个层面。1、文化传统的承传与发扬:2、时代氛围的濡染与刺激。此种探讨对合理解释其主题以及某些艺术评价提供了较好途径。

Linked with the life experiences and other materials revealed of Wu Cheng'en,the creative psychological motive of the novel, Travel to West Heaven for Buddhist Scriptures,can be analysed from two aspects.Firstly,his childhood experiences play an essential rote in his later creative character and his special implication in the words,while his rich superb talent also influences his words.Secondly,the ex- ternally supplementary psychological motives have two levels analysed from tradition and the times.The first level is the development and car- tying on of cultural tradifion.The second level is the immersion and stimulation of the atmosphere of the times.This approach provides a bet- ter way to explain the theme and some artistic evaluation.
