【摘要】 作为明代小说的主要类型和三大流派之一,神魔小说的出现和盛行打破历史演义一统天下的小说格局,是通俗小说发展历程中的重要一环。本文以明代神魔小说为研究对象,从具体的文本分析和题材来源入手,结合其产生的社会文化背景、小说编创者的创作意图及读者的接受心理,集中考察了这一流派在整个明代的编写和创作方式,总结出其创作实践的艺术贡献、创作规律、得失经验,从而较为清晰地勾勒出神魔小说在整个明代演进流变的轨迹。本文据这一小说流派文体规范的发展程度,将明代的神魔小说分为三个阶段,即初兴期、鼎盛期和渐衰期,并从小说创作和形成的角度将三个阶段的编创方式相应地概括为世代累积型、书商编创型和文人独创型。文章的主体部分首先以《西游记》等开创的文体规范为研究核心,并逐一考察了此期经典作品在结构体制、语言风格、创作手法和思想寓意等方面的继承与发展;同时,以鼎盛期的书商编创型小说为论述重点,归纳了书商及下层文人在编创过程中所采用的模仿、改写、抄袭、增删、拼凑组合等补辑连缀的方法,并较为深入地探讨了书坊主在这一过程中所起到的独特作用,以及民间信仰对此期小说构成的重要影响;最后,在对文人独创型作品的剖析中,文章主要以作家主体意识的注入、象征讽寓手法的借鉴、布局构思的刻意创新、文学色彩的渲染及对其它类型小说叙述手法的大胆尝试等为视角阐释了这类作品的创作方式。通过分析我们发现,对明代神魔小说编创方式的研究,有助于我们从作品文本的角度去考察这一流派产生、兴盛和衰蜕的演变历程和原因;有助于弥补目前关于此类小说研究的不足,从而更系统地构建神魔小说的创作史;也有利于深入地总结明代神魔小说的创作经验,以期对当今文学创作的健康发展产生一定的启发与借鉴价值。

【Abstract】 The novel about gods and devils is the main type of novels during the Ming dynasty and one of three fiction schools. It’s appearance and prevalence in the Ming society break the situation that the historical novels had occupied on the whole field of novel, and then plays an important role in the development of the popular novels.

Accordingly, it summarizes three patterns such as the type of accumulation from generation to generation, the type of compiling and creating by bookman and the type of creating by literati, from the perspectives of creation and formation of fiction. Firstly, the main part of the thesis emphasizes the stylistic criterion that Journey to The West and other famous works of novels about gods and devils had initiated, and reviews the inheritance and innovation based on the novel structure, the language style, the creating techniques and the implied meanings of these famous works in this time.

This research will also make up for the shortages of studies on this novel at the present time, and systematically construct history of creating the novel about gods and devils.
