摘要: 《夷坚志》是宋代文人洪迈编撰的一部笔记小说。书中大多数故事是洪迈根据周围人的讲述记录下来的,因而洪迈认为这些故事具有真实性。本文借用英国汉学家杜德桥的看法,把这些资料视为通俗文学的一种现象。《夷坚志》里有很多故事以各式各样的女性为主角,是研究当时妇女生活很有价值的资料。本文提出运用这些故事的四个方面:(一)用以发掘没想到或在其它资料中看不到的女性生活细节;(二) 研究它与其他资料的异同;(三) 探讨故事后面的含意,尤其有关妇女情况的含意;(四) 思考怎么处理和理解一些晦涩而没有逻辑的故事。文中举例对这四方面进行了说明。

Abstract: Yijianzhi is a collection of anecdotes and tales compiled by the Song dynasty literatus Hong Mai. Most of the stories it contains were transmitted orally to Hong Mai by people he knew. Consequently, Hong Mai believed the stories to be reliable accounts of events that had actually happened. This article follows the methods of the British Sinologist Glen Dudbridge in viewing such stories as belonging to medieval China's "vernacular culture." Many of Yijianzhi's stories feature one or another type of women as their protagonist, and so the collection is a valuable source for the study of women of that period. This article pursues four approaches to using these stories: (1) to discover in them aspects of women's lives that are little known and not revealed in other Song dynasty materials; (2) to find representations of women that are at odds with what we find in other materials; (3) to explore aspects of women's lives that the stories broach only in an indirect or suppressed manner; and (4) to reflect on ways to deal with and interpret unclear or illogical stories. Particular stories are discussed in each of these four categories.
