幻相与反讽——《金瓶梅》人物观与人生观

《金瓶梅》不仅是作表达个人的伤时之感，更重要的在于传达其对人生真谛的认识：人生是一部幻书。幻书之论既是他的人生观，也是他的人物观。纵览全书，构造幻相、解构传统寓意以及形成反讽效果，是《金瓶梅》人物塑造艺术的精髓所在。读可以通过小说的主人公西门庆与潘金莲等人物的形象塑造，洞悉作的笔墨用心。

Mirage and Irony——Outlooks on Characters and Life in Jin Ping Mei

Jin Ping Mei not only expresses the author' s personal grief over the time, but more importantly, reveals his understanding of the true meaning of life that life is but a book of mirage. Such a view is both his outlook on life and outlook on his characters. A thorough reading of the entire book makes us believe that the setting up of the mirage, the dismiss of conventional implied meanings and its consequent ironical effects are the very essence of the art of character - moulding of Jin Ping Mei. Readers may well gain an insight into the author' s intention in his writing from the moulding of such figures as Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian.
