Jinshengtan And The "Playing Writing" Concept Of Ming Dynasty

In recent years, many scholars pay more attention on fiction of the ancient Chinese, Reflected not only on the interpretation of the authors and works, but also more substantial theoretical exploration and analysis of novel. And Jin Shengtan as a leading literary critic of ancient China has been concerned by many scholars, the research enthusiasm about Jin Shengtan are becoming increasingly warming. However, due to traditional research routine and the mode of thinking, Chinese researchers are not starting from their own literary traditions, many is to apply Western literary theory to explain China's classic novel. What is more, someone have the development history of the novel is rigidly divided into several stages; their research will point to different forms at different stages of the novel. Although this can make a type of system of novel development stage, but it ignores the essences that exist in every kind of novel, that: why novel is there, which basic factors should have as a novel. This problem about novel essential significance can't be solved only by research novel type. It necessarily involves different people's understanding of different times, which is the original novel theory.China is a highly developed country in the historical tradition, with early complete Historian System. Established the division of work that the left record speech and the right record things. The historical records reached25, proved the development in Chinese history. In such a nation advocating true great emphasis on a well-supported. So not only historical Record respected true record, Fiction book of anecdotes that have to seek the identity of the rationality of the existence. So there are many people claim that novels can be added missing History, to gain the status of fiction was recognized by society. Under the guidance of this idea fiction in the novels is not recognized. The novel self-generated fiction content will have to find out there fictitious basis in reality. Despite Jin Dynasty's fiction record a lot of ghost stories, but without exception, declared that "there is a supernatural," while his record is to "prove the ghost is not false", flaunt the spirit of true record.

This view has been existed as a mainstream in the history of Chinese literature.Yet we know, the reason novel widespread circulated certainly is not the enlightenment. Its "rapid educate people deeply" is mainly reflected by its entertainment function. Although the orthodox writers have been ignored or even discriminated against this novel function, But it does not interfere with their objective existence in the history of each period, No matter how ancient fiction writers to have willing to help sage's enlightenment. How to write books in anger. One obvious fact is that people gained minimal education from their work, instead, body and mind entertainment is enjoy popular. This is exactly the inherent characteristics of novel. The awareness for this feature to its final establishment has experienced a long process.How novel separated from the norms of cultivation, as a kind of unique literary style mainly for entertainment, this is a very important problem in the literary theory.

It related to our concept of literary history dating and research focus. Either focus on the analysis about work of writers, either focuses on the discussion of literary theory, either focus on the respective for the social situation. But did not offer order for this concept's appearance and maturation a cross-age.This will put aside discuss about the concept of novel contains sage's enlightenment, focus on the essence writing for entertainment exist in circulation of novel, and make clarification for the development of playing writing.
