一 严格说来,一部文学杰作或一个艺术典型的产生,都并非纯然出于作家个人主观的艺术创造,还跟特定的社会历史条件,尤其是跟深刻的文化背景分不开。《金瓶梅》所塑造的潘金莲形象及其悲剧,就包涵着不可忽视的文化内涵。 《金瓶梅》的主人公是西门庆。可是,小说围绕着这个有独特身分和地位的男人,却写出了一个女人世界,一个完整的涌动着生命活力的女人世界。在这个女人世界中,生活着处于中国封建社会没落时期的形形色色的市井妇女,演出了一幕幕令人惊心骇目的人生悲剧。 Strictly speaking, a literary masterpiece or a typical artistic creation is not purely an artist’s subjective artistic creation, but also inseparable from certain social and historical conditions, especially the profound cultural background. The image and tragedy of Pan Jinlian shaped by Jin Ping Mei include the cultural connotation that can not be ignored. “Golden Lotus” is the protagonist Ximen. However, the novel revolves around this unique identity and status of men, but wrote a woman’s world, a full surging vitality of the world of women. In this world of women, all kinds of well-being women living in the decline of feudal society in China live astonishing scenes of life tragedies.
