中国小说在人物配置上的三位一体模式

中国小说中的人物配置常以"三"为限,"三者"蕴涵的恰恰是不对等、不完备、不稳定、不圆满的,相互间没有完全相近的东西,通过三者关系的巧妙演绎,使得这种三位一体的配置又呈现出三种基本模式:循环制约模式、扇面并联模式、三足鼎立模式。

Trinity of Character Arrangement in Chinese Novels

Being three protagonists at most in a Chinese novel is a prevailing mode of Chinese character arrangement.However,it's usually believed that three characters mean being unequal,incomplete,unstable,undesirable and lack of affinity with each other.In fact,through utilizing the interaction of these characters skillfully,the mode becomes very effective and evolves into three kinds of fundamental models.That is:cyclic confinement mode,fan-like juxtaposition mode and a mode of tripartite confrontation.
