Most marriages of the ancient Chinese society were adhered ti the principle of“The Parent?s Order And Matchmaker?s Words”,and sometimes love was not the basis of the husband and wife union.Therefore,the romance novels in the literary works were more stranges.It has become the reading object of pursuit of male and female readers and it further promoted novelists to create this kind of novel one after another.In generally,the first meeting in the interpersonal communication is often paid much attention to.In fact,it caters for the original meaning of “A good beginning makes a good ending”.For those single men and women who have never met before and can't see each other easily,the first meeting is more significant for each other.To some extent,it decides whether love can be germinated or not.Under such circumstance,in the process of creation,the novelists generally placed a high value on the elaborate construction and narration of men and women first meeting.Because it is the significant factor to decide whether love can be germinated or not and how to happen.Given all this,the matters of at what time,under what circumstances and what kind of moment of their first meeting are equally significant with the first meeting opportunity.Therefore,the novelists dare not set the scenes of their first meeting casually,but to elaborate and carefully handle with it.Of course,the original meaning of scenes and the relevant cultural meaning derived from this would be surveyed aiming at how to set it in an elaborate and careful way.And the conventional meaning in the cultural traditions would be examined in order to inherit and innovate the scenes.On the basis of above considerations,we have the special issue on the men and women first meeting in the romance novels of Ming Dynasty.Apparently,the purpose of such kind of thesis is relatively narrow and insular;but relatively speaking,it makes the research more targeted and profound.Of course,it is more difficult for the research.Because it is confined to a large number of novels in Ming Dynasty,3 types of typical men and women first meeting scenes are selected to be surveyed.The 3typical scenes are as following: the scenes of inside and outside of the wall around the object,wall;the scenes of Lantern light nights around the Lantern Festival;and the scenes of by-the-lake around the object,lake.In the process of discussion,it generally analyzes the original meaning and its cultural meaning of each scene and roughly teases out the existing conditions of the specific scenes in the cultural tradition.And itthen focuses on exploring the important narrative function in plot development,characterization and ideas metaphor of 3 scenes on the basis of novel texts relating to the specific scenes.Perhaps this kind of research pattern is not thoughtful and deep,but it can provide some beneficial thoughts for reviewing the relationship between scenes and novels,and the relationship between the first meeting and romance development.
