“桑中之戏”发生变奏的文化阐释

根据女性在＂桑中之戏＂中主观意愿的不同,可以将这一行为分为两种情形：一是两情相悦的男欢女爱,二是男性对女性的性骚扰。先秦《诗经》和汉代乐府对此呈现出不同的创作模式和表现形式。这种变化轨迹的形成,除了汉儒为推行礼教纲常而刻意塑造道德典范的主观动因之外,还和先民性道德观的自觉形成不无关系。

The Variation of Chinese Ancient Love Stories:A Cultural Interpretation

Chinese ancient love stories, up to the female party, may be classified into two categories： one of them representing the normal love and the other, actually, men＇s sexual harassment against women. In the Book of Songs and the literature before Qin Dynasty, when concerning such a theme, the writing mode and form of expression are different from those found in Ballads （Yue Fu） and the literature of Han Dynasty. Such variation may be explained as resulting from the forming of Chinese ancient people＇s consciousness of sexual morality as well as Han Confucian striving to create some moral models to promote their ethical codes.
