唐代社会经济转型与中晚唐遇仙小说新变

The Economic Turuing in the Tang Dynasty and the Changes in the Fairy Tales of Mid and late Tang Dynasty

隋唐遇仙小说因袭汉魏六朝,其传播的信息却发生了很大变化:一改六朝对仙界的企美和对宗教旨趣的追求,转向尘世的物质享受。中晚唐的遇仙小说没有脱离初唐时对美色追求的描写,但是在仙境的描写和求仙的目的等方面却加重了对财富的追求和物质的铺陈,反映了中晚唐遇仙小说的求财和货币崇拜思想。

The fairy tales in the Sui and Tang Dynasty followed the form of those in the six dynasties from Han to Wei; however, great changes occurred to the information conveyed in them: the theme of the fairy tales converted from the longing and pursuit for immortality and religious spirit to the earthly material enjoyment. The fairy tales in the mid and late Tang Dynasty still described the pursuit for beauty as those in the early Tang did. However, the fairylandand the attempt to become immortal was described in terms of the pursuit for wealth and material luxury, which reveals the pursuit for wealth and the money worship. Based on the analysis of the works, the paper tries to describe this phenomenon and to reveal the pursuit for material enjoyment in the fairy tales-money worship. In addition, this paper deals with the economic reasons for this phenomenon.
