平步青的本事考证与戏剧观--以其《小栖霞说稗》为例

摘要

Ping Buqing is a renowned scholar in Shaoxing in the late Qing dynasty. A Dramatic Criticism in Little Qixia is his master-piece. Ping’ s concept of drama exhibits itself in three aspects:“Drama” does not necessarily mean“opera”;the events in drama should be based on historical records;attention should be paid to such “popular literature” as drama and fiction.%平步青是晚清绍兴地区的著名学者，《小栖霞稗说》为其戏曲批评的代表作。平步青在此书中以学者的眼光对戏剧“本事”的考证，以及与小说“本事”考证之关联，不仅所获甚丰，而且特色鲜明，特点突出。平步青的戏剧认识观，主要表现在三个方面：一是认为“戏剧”并不等于“戏曲”，二是认为戏剧中的“本事”应以史籍所载为依据，三是对包括戏剧、小说在内的“俗文学”的重视。
