拟史:宋元讲史平话的叙事策略

因为题材的客观要求和创作者的有意仿效,讲史平话的叙事特征不同于一般的小说话本,带有明显的"拟史"倾向.讲史平话在叙事时间和叙事结构的处理上,存在对传统史书的借鉴.通过与小说话本和史书的双重比较,可以看出讲史平话的叙事手法在遵循说话艺术线索清晰、细节丰富的同时,也较多运用了史书纪传体和编年体的结构形式.

Pseudo-history: The Narrative Strategy of Jiangshi Pinghua in the Song and Yuan Dynasties

The jiangshi pinghua is a written literary genre that originated from the shuohua or storytelling,a form of folk art popular in the Song and the Yuan dynasties. It is an embryonic form of ancient popular novel. Because of the objective requirement of the themes and the conscious imitation of the creators,the jiangshi pinghua,different from the common popular novel in terms of narrative features,is distinctly characteristic of pseudo-history. This article focuses on how it borrows narrative time and narrative structure from traditional historical books. Through a double comparison with novel and historical texts,we find that the jiangshi pinghua employs the structure of the biographical and chronological forms of historical books,while following the clear theme and rich details of the shuohua.
