Abstract

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.

唐代人鬼遭遇類型小説中包含着多個亞型，其表現手法具備以下幾個主要特點：首先，在相當一部分表現人鬼情愛的作品中，唐人乃是以一種人情化的方式來想像鬼魂的思想、情感和生活世界的。其次，部分文人作品注重將歷史題材、歴史人物與人鬼遇合題材融於一爐，並通過文中女鬼的言談和吟詠來表現對人生浮沉與歷史滄桑的慨歎，具有濃重的抒情意味。第三，部分作品則以生活化的場景、日常口語或滑稽對比來營造諧趣，以女鬼、夜叉食人等獨特的題材或幻覺的形式來表現怖怪意趣。第四，晚唐時期的一些人鬼遭遇類作品也呈現出將多種類型題材及其表現手法予以融合之趨勢。

The man-and-ghost encounter type of novels have the following characteristics: first, in quite a large portion of man-and-god love stories, the Tang people imagine the thoughts, feelings and life in a humanity way. Second, some of the writers try to melt historical theme, historic figures and man-and-god encounter theme together, and express, through the words and chant of the goddesses in the novel, their laments and sighs on the ups-and-downs and historic changes, which is quite liric.Third, some of the works create flavor and taste with life-like scenes, daily words or buffooneries and comparisons, and invent terror and wierdness with the help of special themes, such as women ghosts, man-eating Yechas, or of delusions.Fourth, some works of man-and-ghost encounter theme present a tendency of merging various themes and expression methods in late Tang dynasty.
