摘要: 中国古代小说中常有这样一种“神画”传奇故事:由于男子痴迷,画上美人传奇般地来到现实世界,与该男子结为奇缘;历经一段时间的世俗幸福生活,终因女子容貌过美或行为超常而被某好事者指为妖;面对男子突如其来的猜疑,美人痛返原初画卷。这种“神画”传奇故事母题之所以历久弥新,固然有受到民间传说、宗教佛理禅意影响的因素,但更重要的还是因为传统社会“视美为仙”、“认美为妖”等传奇化认知心理蕴含着“画似真”、“真如画”、“美为妖”、“真是幻”等审美经验。具体说,在这种“寓理于事”的传奇化“神画”故事中,画中美人之所以能够走下画面与现实人物发生艳遇,主要是因为“画中人”特别传神,容易令人产生活灵活现等审美幻觉,故而演化出富有幻想的传奇故事。可以说,这种传奇化故事叙述包含着“艺可通神”、“情可通神”、“情中含淫”等褒贬兼备的传神美学原理,是抽象传神魅力的具象化传奇诠释。
