从《游仙窟》“纵欲”到《莺莺传》“忍情”——看才子佳人小说情爱关系的变化

摘要

This novel Youxianku is regarded as the first love novel in Chinese Literature history, while the novel Biography of Yingying is the most well-known in the Tang dynasty. In fact there is much similarity in many aspects in these two novels. Through comparison, we can conclude that these two novels have become the basic paradigm for novels on gifted scholars and beauties afterwards in the image creation, plot construction, emotion model and the application of presentation approaches, etc. The transformation from indulging in sexual pleasures in Youxianku to holding back passion in Biography of Yingying reflects litterateurs＇ sex attitude from openness to reservation, which further leads to the change of love relationship in later novels of gifted scholars and beauties from being sex-oriented to affection-oriented.%《游仙窟》是中国文学史上第一部真正意义上的爱情小说，《莺莺传》是唐传奇中最富盛名的爱情小说，这两部小说有许多相似之处。将《游仙窟》和《莺莺传》加以对照，不难发现，这两篇唐传奇中才子佳人形象、情节构成、感情模式以及表现手法的应用等方面都成为后世才子佳人小说创作的基本范式，从《游仙窟》的“纵欲”到《莺莺传》的“忍情”，文人性观念从开放转向内敛，这种转变也促使了后来的才子佳人小说的情爱关系由重“色”向重“情”转变。
