元杂剧《散家财天赐老生儿》中的人物关系探究

摘要

武汉臣的杂剧《散家财天赐老生儿》中，妻妾、婿侄与侄儿的身份地位差别是剧本创作的暗线，妻正统，妾附属；侄同姓，婿异姓；儿直系，侄旁系。围绕这些关系，文章展开了地位、子嗣以及财产的较量与争夺，映射出元代社会宗法制影响下“妾不如妻，婿不如侄，侄不如儿”的思想观念。%The status differences between wife and concubine,son-in-law and nephew,nephew and son in ARich Old Man’s Son are the drama’s underlying clue.The wife is orthodox,and the concubine is affili-ated.Liu Congshan and his nephew belong to one family,but his son-in-law does not.His infant son is im-mediate family member,but his nephew is not.The fight and competition about status,children and proper-ty show the traditional thinking of“The concubine is inferior to the wife;the son-in-law is inferior to the nephew;and the nephew is inferior to the son.”in the patriarchal system in the Yuan Dynasty.
