本文以明代中篇豔情傳奇小說《巫山奇遇》、《天緣奇遇》的改寫,來探討明代豔情小說的合法化努力。這一合法化在《巫山奇遇》、《天緣奇遇》中,是通過朱元璋明王朝創業爭戰的框架展開的。而具體的途徑則是以主人公的了道成仙,並向朱元璋顯示天啟神授,以明王朝創立的政治合法性來印證修道的可信性,並進而調和豔情描寫與儒家倫理的衝突。但這種使得豔情小說合法化的努力,又在另一層面帶來了更深的顛覆性。
This article analyzes the legitimization attempts of Ming dynasty erotic fiction through the lens of the rewriting of the Ming erotic novellas Wushan qiyu 巫山奇遇 (Marvelous Encounters at the Shaman Mount ) and Tianyuan qiyu 天緣奇遇 (Celestial Destinies Remarkably Fulfilled). In these two works the legitimization unfolds through the framework of Zhu Yuanzhang’s 朱元璋 (Emperor Ming Taizu 明太祖; r. 1368-1398) dynasty-founding war. The concrete method of exhibiting this legitimization in the novellas is the attainment of immortality by the protagonists and their display of divine sanction towards Zhu Yuanzhang. Thus, the political legitimacy of the founding of the Ming dynasty is utilized to verify the credibility of immortality. Furthermore, it is invoked to reconcile the tension between erotic depictions and Confucian morals. From a different perspective, this very same effort of legitimizing erotic fiction, however, also brings about a deeper subversiveness.
