文学史讲明清笔记小说,大都激赏蒲松龄的《聊斋志异》,而对纪昀的《阅微草堂笔记》颇多微词。他们自有他们的说头,我则更喜欢后者。论思想内容,难以简单地用进步和保守划分高下。蒲作描写了许多活泼可爱的女子,对一夫多妻制却满口生津;纪书有不少“劝善惩恶”的封建观念,但许多篇什至今读来仍有振聋发聩的力量。像《民之四害》对吏、役、官之亲属、官之仆隶四种“无官之责、有官之权”的人的清醒认识,像 The literary history of Ming and Qing dynasty storytelling novels mostly appealed to Pu Songling’s “Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio”, and to Ji Yun’s “Notes on the Reading Weicaotang” was quite a few words. They have their own words and I prefer the latter. On the content of ideas, it is difficult to simply use progressive and conservative divisions. Pu Zu describes many lively and lovely women who are full of passion for polygamy. Ji Shu has many feudal ideas of “promoting good and punishing evil”. However, many articles still have the power to rejuvenate themselves. Like the “Four Peoples of the People,” the clear understanding of the four kinds of “no official responsibility, the right to have officials” for relatives, servants, official servants, and servants.
