从文言小说到话本——《大桶张氏》与《闹樊楼多情周胜仙》

《醒世恒言》中的市井小说《闹樊楼多情周胜仙》,是根据《大桶张氏》改编的。话本对《大桶张氏》的改编中,不再以信义为中心描写,注意以情为中心描写,在此基础上塑造人物,设置故事情节,并注意故事的传奇化,不同于《大桶张氏》从头至尾叙述日常生活。另外,话本在表现爱情时,又将叙事的重心放在故事上,在此过程中也表现人物的命运———人物的升沉荣辱、生死祸福。话本中的周胜仙将爱情置于超越生死的至高无上地位,这是一种和旧礼教相对立的进步思想,表现出处于发展时期的市民心态。

From Classical Chinese Novels to Vernacular Stories

Affectionate Zhou Shengxian Kicking up a Row in Xing Shi Heng Yan is adapted from Bucket Zhang.The adapted version centres on emotion instead of faith,which is different from the original narrating everyday routines.In manifesting affection,the adapted version puts narrative stress on the story,in which Zhou Shengxian held love at the supreme position.This sort of narration is opposite to the traditional ideology of Confucianism.
