论《聊斋志异》中的商人形象

蒲松龄结合自己的人生际遇,参照明清时期商人的现状和通俗文学作品中的商贾形象,塑造了三类各具特色的商人形象:诚实本分的小贩,道德败坏的奸商,重义轻财的儒商。从这些商贾形象可以看出蒲松龄对商业和商人的认识是正面的,同时,不难发现《聊斋志异》里的商人也具有缺乏自信心、自主性、个性不够鲜明的特点。

On Images of Merchants in Liao Zhai Zhi Yi

Using his own life experience, images of merchants in literary works and reality for reference, PU Song-ling, the author of Liao Zhai Zhi Yi, portrays three types of merchant images: honest dealers, immoral and unscrupulous merchants and scholarly and refined merchants who regard personal loyalty as superior to commercial profits. These images indicate PU Song-ling's positive attitude toward trades and tradesmen as well as the tradesmen's lack of self-confidence, creativity, and sharp personality in Liao Zhai Zhi Yi.
