孔尚任何以要用戏剧形式写作《桃花扇》

摘要

Why did Kong Shangren write the Peach Blossom Fan in the form of the Kunqu Opera instead of other forms?There are three reasons :the fact that the Sacred Family of the Confucian Mansion in Qufu liked and valued operas had a great influence on him;he maintained the idea that plays could redeem the mind;he was influenced by Ding Yaokang's legend of The West Lake Fan.%孔尚任何以要用戏剧形式而不用其他体裁来写作《桃花扇》呢？笔者认为有三个原因：因为曲阜孔府衍圣公家爱好和重视戏曲，对孔尚任有较大影响；因为孔尚任有戏剧能够“惩创人心”的戏剧观；受丁耀亢《西湖扇》传奇的影响。
