《水浒传》(尤其是前七十二回)中有很多故事发生在酒肆,不同档次的酒肆特点不同:村落小酒肆通常比较简陋,但自然环境较好;城镇中档酒肆在格局上与前者最大的区别是设有二层楼和单间;城市大酒楼的建筑、装潢最为奢华,酒肴、酒器远比前两者昂贵精致.以这些兼具开放性与隐蔽性的大小酒肆为空间场所展开的故事可分为黑店害命类、好汉萍聚类、店主传信类、密谋类、醉酒类五类,同一类型的故事具有相似的情节要素,但每类故事中酒肆的叙事功能不尽相同:黑店害命类和好汉萍聚类故事中,酒肆起到了连接不同叙事空间的作用;店主传信类故事中,酒肆的叙事功能主要体现在转移叙事地点上;密谋类故事中的酒肆为密谋提供了较为隐秘、安全的空间;醉酒类故事中,酒肆则主要起到了转移叙事地点和加快叙事节奏的作用.%Many of the stories in The Water Margin(especially the first seventy-two chapters)take place in tavern.Different levels of tavern have different characteristics.The village pubs is usually relatively humble, but the natural environment is better;the most important difference between village pubs and town mid-range tavern is the tavern has second floor and single rooms. The architecture and decoration of the city's grand res-taurant are the most luxurious,and the wine shop and wine glass are far more expensive and delicate. These wine shops are open and hidden,dividing those stories that happen in the wine shop into six types:unscrupu-lous lethal,heroes encounter, shopkeeper providing news, secret talks, drunk wine, poverty alleviation and save the human. The same type of story has similar plot elements,but the narrative features of each story are different. In the story of the unscrupulous lethal and heroes encounter, the wine restaurant plays the role of connecting different narrative spaces.In the story of the shopkeeper providing news and poverty alleviation,the wine shop is transfer narrative place. The tavern provides a more private and safe space for conspiracy story.
