| 摘要: | 《剪燈新話》人物研究摘要瞿佑的《剪燈新話》為明初文言短篇小說的代表作，不僅深受讀者歡迎，甚且引起一連串的仿效風潮，雖為朝廷下令明禁，卻深刻影響明清的戲曲與小說。而學術的研究可以鑑古知今，透過對文本的細讀，梳理人物類型、解析故事題材、探究敘寫主題，對瞿佑的《剪燈新話》重新聚焦審視。人物是小說的主要構成因素，如果沒有複雜萬相的芸芸眾生，所有的故事題材便無法順利開展，作者也無從藉由書中人物來傳達意念與主題思想，分析小說的類型人物有助於理解作者對作品的詮釋與敘寫技巧。因此本論文以「總論→分論→總論」的形式作為基本架構，層次開展論文三大主題的深化探討。瞿佑藉由男性、女性、靈怪、其他四種類型人物，在述異言情的故事題材中，對元末明初的社會現實作同步反映，傳達勸善懲惡、哀窮悼屈的主題思想。
The research of portraits in“Jian Deng Xin Hua”
ABSTRACTAs one of the most representative works of classical-Chinese fictions in the early Ming Dynasty, Qu You’s Jian Deng Xin Hua was not only tremendously popular with the readers of the time, but also triggered a trend of mimicry. Even though the trend was banned by the authority of the time, it still profoundly had a great effect on the creation of opera and novel during the time of Ming and Qing Dynasty. However, since the importance of academic research lies in the fact that we are allowed to learn from history, in this thesis, the genre of Qu You’s Jian Deng Xin Hua is re-examined in terms of three aspects: the categorization of the characters, the dissection of the subject matter, and the investigation of topic.
Protagonists have always been the main factors during the composition of a fiction. Without the complexity among the characters from all walks of life, the subject matter of the story can’t be developed ideally
what’s further, the author can’t freely express his idea as well as the theme of life through the individual character in the story. Thus, the dissection of each protagonist in the work is helpful for us to have a better understanding of the author’s devices used in his way of interpretation of the work along with the mechanism of narrative he applied. Therefore, this thesis is arranged from a general introduction, to an individual discussion, and then back to a general introduction, in the hope of having a deep insight into the three aspects.
With the use of male, female, spirits, and the other four typical figures in such fiction genre as chuanqi (the integration of weirdness), Qu You authentically reflected what it was in the late Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty, and conveyed his mercy over the poor and the weak, along with his belief in “virtue will have a good reward, while vice will have an veil recompense,” both of which serve as the theme of the work.
