重评凌濛初笔下的唐赛儿形象

几乎所有文学史论著一旦论及凌初《二拍》中作品《何道士因术成奸》时，皆视这篇小说为凌氏诬蔑农民起义女领袖唐赛儿的重要证据，以为小说把她描写成了一个淫乱不堪的妖女．其实不然，若以文学审美的历史眼光对这篇小说重加审视，则会得出与历来评价大相径庭的结论：作者以独特的文学表现手法讴歌了这位倡导白莲教起义的女领袖，并将她塑造成了不起的巾帼英雄。

RE-EVALUATION OF THE IMAGE OF TANG SAI'ER CREATED BY LING MENGCHU

Almost all works on Chinese literary history regard one of the short stories entitled MonkHe Becomes a Seducer with Witcheraft in the collection entitled Er Pai by Ling Mengchu as animportant proof of the author's slandering of the woman teader of the peasants uprising, Tang Sal'erwhen they deal with it, asserting that the story depicts her as a licentious siren. In fach it is not thetruth. If this story is reexamined from a historical perspective of literary aestheticism, a totally differentconclusion will be drawn. Tile author eulogized the woman leader launching the uprising of the WhiteLotus Religion and created a great woman hero in her.
