明代长篇小说的文学经典性会消亡吗 ——以“四大奇书”为例

Will the Literary Canonicity of Full-length Novels of Ming DynastyDisappear? ——A Case Study of Four Classic Works

摘要

摘要:以《三国演义》《水浒传》《西游记》《金瓶梅》为代表的明代长篇小说具有强大的文学经典性。这主要表现在七个方面:高峰性、原创性、品牌性、民族性、易传播性和易接受性、经典化过程的曲折性、丰富的可争议性和可阐释性。它们的缺陷存在和文本存在形态的变化都不会导致未来其丧失文学经典性。

Abstract:With The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, The Outlaws of the Marsh, A Journey to the West and Jin Ping Mei as representatives, the Full-length novels of Ming Dynasty are strong in literary canonicity which is shown in their peak, originality, status as a brand, nationality, easy dissemination and acceptance, winding canonization, rich controversy and interpretability. Neither their flaws nor the change of their forms will lead to the disappearance of their literary canonicity.
