Abstract
馮夢龍為三言所作的三篇序,每篇重點論述一個問題,各篇又相互勾連補充,形成了自己的小說理論體系. 古今小說敘首次提出通俗演義起源於說話藝術,與唐人傳奇相比,通俗演義從語言到內容都通俗易懂,可以為一般百姓所接受和欣賞,發揮更大的社會作用. 警世通言敘探討了小說創作中生活真實與藝術虛構的關係問題,提出了人不必有其事,事不必麗其人的虛構方法,虛構要做到事真而理不贗,即事贗而理亦真.故事小說可以虛構,歷史小說則要嚴守史實.醒世恆言敘提出了“醒世說”,馮夢龍對晚明濁亂之世痛心疾首,要用通俗演義來警醒世人,扭轉乾坤.通俗小說要達到醒世的目的,首先要有健康的內容,還得遵循小說的特殊法則.
Feng Menglong composed three prefaces for his own novels San Yan. Though each preface focused on one question,they connected closely with and complemented each other,forming Feng’s own novel theoretical system. The Prefaces of Ancient and Contemporary Novels first proposed the Popular Romance was originated in the art of speaking,compared to the Tang Dynasty folktales,the Popular Romance language to content are easy for ordinary people to understand,and to accept and appreciate,playing a greater role in the society. The Preface of Jingshitongyan explores the relationship between real life and artistic fiction,Feng used the fictional method that the figure does not have to experience such events,and such events do not have to happen to the figure. ”Fiction should be composed to the rule that when event is real,the reason should not be pseudo; while the event is pseudo,the reason should also be true. The story of the novel may be fictional,but historical novel should be based on strict historical facts.The Preface of Xingshihengyan put forward the“theory of awakening the world,”Feng Menglong bitterly felt the turbid and chaos of the late Ming Dynasty,he wanted to use the Popular Romance to alert the world to turn things around. To achieve the purpose of awakening the world,the popular fiction should be created with a good content,but also have to follow the laws of the novel.
