Abstract
明清官府嚴令禁毀小說, 認為描寫綠林好漢行俠仗義的小說會引導百姓聚嘯山林, 反抗官府; 描寫婚戀家庭的小說傷風敗俗, 啟人淫竇; 清朝漢族文人撰寫小說, 居心叵測,隱含反清排滿的內容. 官府禁毀小說,不但沒有毀掉小說, 反而激發了讀者的好奇心,被禁小說傳播越來越廣,商業嗅覺靈敏的書坊主紛紛刊行被禁小說,小說評點者一方面為被禁小說辯護,另一方面深入挖掘其思想與藝術價值. 就是在官府禁毀 讀者閱讀 文人評點 書坊刻印的過程中,一些小說名著的經典地位得以確立. 官府禁毀小說客觀上對小說經典化起到了特殊作用,但並不是所有遭禁毀的小說都會成為經典. 禁毀小說是一種文化專制政策, 大大損害了小說的創作與刊刻.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties,the government strictly prohibited and destructed novels,but this prohibition policy didn't destroy the novels but sparked readers' curiosity. As a result,the banned novels spread more and more widely,and the shrewd bookshop owners published them one after another. Meanwhile,the critics defended them on the one hand and delved deeper into their values of thought and art on the other.In the process of government prohibition and destruction,reader consumption,scholarly critique,and bookshop publication,some novels became classics. Although the government's prohibition and destruction objectively played a unique role in classicizing novels,not all banned novels would become classics. The prohibition and destruction of novels was a form of cultural authoritarianism that greatly damaged their creation and publication.
