The Relationship between Dream Interpreting Novels in Tang Dynasty and Ji Zhong Shuoyu
Abstract
Tang Zhanmeng novel technique derived from ancient Zhanmeng and Zhanmeng fiction stories. Tang Zhanmeng into Zhanmeng fiction novel, dream novel and sensitive novel divisions. Warring States period "learn the mound Suo language" is a "different discipline of ancient and modern ancestors", "ancestor of ancient and modern fiction," works, the narrative content of a dream experience is an important one. Works by describing the bizarre dream like, will be attached to the account Farfetched speech and dream experience, constitutes a Zhanmeng novel initial content. Tang Zhanmeng most Xiqu this novel class of story Zhanmeng content and narrative structure. Through the analysis of these two come to a conclusion that was derived from the Tang Dynasty Zhanmeng novel "learn the language mound Suo," a book, "Suo language" is the prototype of the Tang Dynasty Zhanmeng novel. And this view is available only to dream of literary study of the history of poetry, prose, philosophers, literary dream to see the history of the origin of mass and other point of view of the supplement. Originated from ancient dream interpretation and the relative stories, the dream interpreting novel in Tang dynasty could be divided into dream interpreting novel, dream predicting novel, and corresponding novel. As the "origin of weird stories", one of its main content of Ji Zhong Shuoyu , written in Waning States period, is recording dream experiences, no matter how absurd or weird they are. Comparing Tang dream interpreting novels with Ji Zhong Shuoyu, I incline to conclude that the later is the origin of the former , and indeed is the rudiment of such novels popular in Tang. J wish my conclusion could complement the traditional view that only poetry, scholastic writing, and epic are the origin of dream literature
