Mao-xin CUI

Abstract


According to a new “textual criticism” by a scholar, the Yuan drama ‘Baiyueting’of Guan Hanqing was adapted from the South tune “Baiyueting” The paper focuses on the status of the North tune “Baiyueting” and the poetry-related areas of the South tune “Baiyueting” after citing the wrong textual criticism. From the perspective of the development of the Chinese drama art history, the paper makes a deep ,penetrating and full analysis of the relations between the two and relative issues. As a result, the academic propositions are confirmed, such as “the North tune’ Baiyueting’ was created by Guan Hanqing on the basis of his own experiences in politics in the early stage of his creation”, “The South tune ‘Baiyueting’was created in the mid-Yuan dynasty by a person living in Hangzhou called Shihui by thinking over and over again of the North tune‘Baiyueting’”,“The two stages of the booming of the north tune‘Baiyueting’ and the development of the South tune ‘Baiyueting’ are two continual stages in the development history of the Chinese drama art, which are also by no means irreversible”, thus providing the academic support with new facts and the notion of original poetry for the rewriting or revising the development history of the Chinese drama.
Keywords: the North tune‘Baiyueting’, the South tune ‘Baiyueting’, Place in the History of Literature, Old Edition of the Capital of Yan, Think over, Poetry-related area
Résumé Un certain savant a récemment proclamé que Le Pavillon de l’adoration de la Lune de Guan Hanqing fut adapté du théatre du Sud du même nom. Cet essai, partant de la place littéraire de l’opéra du Nord Pavillon et le champ de lien de la versification du théaâtre du Sud Pavillon, analyse de façon approfondie et minutieuse leurs relations et des problèmes concernés sous l’angle du développement de l’art théâtral chinois. Cette recherche a abouti à confirmer les thèmes académiques comme « l’opéra du Nord Pavillon, originaire de Guan Hanqing, fut créé au début de sa carrière littéraire et inspiré de son expérience politique. » ; « le théâtre du Sud Pavillon fut adapté de l’ancienne édition de la capitale Yan par un habitant de Hangzhou Shi Hui en ajoutant de la musique et de la parole » ; « la prospérité de l’opéra du Nord et l’essor du théâtre du Sud constituent deux phases étroitement liées dont la relation d’héritage est irréversible dans l’histoire de l’art théâtral chinois.», et à fournir un soutien académique doté de nouvelles découvertes de fait et de la théorie de la versification des créations originales pour la révision de l’histoire de développement de l’art théatrâl chinois.
Mots-clés: opéra du Nord Le Pavillon de l’adoration de la Lune ; théâtre du Sud Le Pavillon de l’adoration de la Lune , place littaraire, anncienne édition de la capitale Yan, champ de lien de la versification
摘要 有學者新近“考證”出“關漢卿的《拜月亭》雜劇是根據南戲改編的”。本文援此失敗的“考據結論”切入,著眼于北曲《拜月亭》的文學史地位與南戲《拜月亭》的詩學關聯域,對二者的關係及相關問題從中國戲曲藝術歷史發展的角度,作了深入、精微、詳實的考索與辯析,使“北曲《拜月亭》系關漢卿創作生涯早期取材於個人特殊政治情感遭際的原創作品”、“南戲《拜月亭》為元中葉杭州人施惠‘翻騰燕都舊本’而成的‘填詞和曲’作品”、“北曲鼎盛與南戲勃興是中國戲曲發展史上兩個前後銜接且傳承關係絕對不可逆轉的發展階段”等學術命題得到了確證,為重寫或改寫中國戲曲發展史,提供了具有新的事實發現及原創詩學理念的學術支持。
關鍵詞:北曲《拜月亭》;南戲《拜月亭》;文學史地位;燕都舊本;翻騰;詩學關聯域
