摘要: 通过具有广泛民意基础的全国性劝善运动,清代官方将小说纳入文化管理范畴,从而对小说创作与传播产生了深刻影响。在这样的政治文化生态下,小说禁毁在本质上已成为有清一代自上而下、全国性的文化自觉行动,成为社会劝善运动的重要组成部分。一方面,一些“善士”为增强劝善效果而有意将善书小说化。另一方面,一些小说家自觉利用为民众所喜闻乐见的通俗小说来实施劝化,以此配合官方劝善运动,由此导致其小说呈现出浓郁的善书色彩。与劝善运动一样,清代许多通俗小说主要以百姓日用伦常为劝化指向,其艺术旨趣也与劝善运动相当一致。

Abstract: Through the nationwide Morality Advocating Campaign, the Qing government brought novels into cultural management, which had a profound influence on the creation and dissemination of the novel. In such a political and cultural ecology, censership and banning of novels, which had formed an important part of the social Morality Advocating Campaign, became a top-down, national cultural conscious action in Qing Dynasty. On the one hand, in order to enhance the effect of advocating morality, some "moralist scholars” intentionally fictionized the moral-instruction books. On the other hand, some novelists consciously utilized popular novels to implement persuasion in order to cooperate with the official morality advocating campaign. As a result, their novels were strongly tinged by the elements of moral-instruction books. Similar to the Morality Advocating Campaign, many popular novels in Qing Dynasty utilized ordinary people's ethics for their end, and their artistic purport was also quite consistent with the campaign's.

Key words: morality advocating campaign in Qing Dynasty, censored novels, the tendency of fictionalization of moral books, strengthening the moral education function of novels
