中国古代文学与孝之初探

中国古代文学与孝有着千丝万缕的联系，古代与孝相关的议论性散文主要侧重对孝进行理论性诠释，揭示了什么是孝和怎样行孝的问题。古代与孝相关的诗歌、小说、戏曲和部分记叙性散文主要是通过塑造孝子形象对孝进行文学性诠释，其中一部分作品以史实为据塑造孝子形象；另一部分作品则通过虚构塑造孝子形象。这两类孝子形象对孝的文学性诠释都异曲同工地与古代议论性散文对孝的理论性诠释相吻合，二者结合起来，构成了中国古代文学对孝的完美诠释，这种诠释也为我们留下了一份弥足珍贵的非物质文化遗产。

A Probe into the Relation between the Ancient Chinese Literature and Filial Piety

The ancient Chinese literature is closely associated with filial piety. The ancient Chinese commentary prose associated with filial piety often gave some theoretical annotations about filial piety, explaining what filial piety was and how to perform one＇s filial piety. The ancient Chinese poems, novels, dramas, and some narrative prose associated with filial piety often gave some literary annotations about filial piety by creating some filial characters, some based on historical facts, and some on imagination. The literary annotations given by these two kinds of filial characters all, though in different ways, conform with the theoretical annotations about filial piety given in the ancient Chinese commentary prose. Their combination constitutes the perfect explanation of the filial piety of the ancient Chinese literature, and this explanation leaves a valuable non-material heritage to us.
