古代酒俗与元杂剧《好酒赵元遇上皇》

我国饮酒习俗源远流长。民间对嗜酒的看法截然相反。杂剧《遇上皇》的戏剧冲突正来自于这样两极的社会舆论,表现了人的酒德、酒功、酒效、酒祸,还有酒趣,展示了人性的善良和险恶。中国自古就有“歌演当宴”的传统,戏剧观赏也一样,是中国“乐感文化”的特点所在,也是酒人酒事大量搬上舞台和受到欢迎的原因。从戏剧表演的角度看,则表明了醉态的观赏价值。《遇上皇》在整个酒剧醉戏史上承先启后,并引发了后世昆曲《醉皂》的诞生。

Ancient Excessive Drinking Custom and Drunkard Zhao Yuan Encountered Emperor's Father, a Poetic Drama in the Yuan Dynasty

The custom of liquor - drinking in China goes back to ancient times. There are two extremely opposite views of liquor dringking among the peole. The dramatic conflicts in the poetic drama Drunkard Zhao Yuan Encountered Emperor' s Father precisely spring from these two extremely contrary opinions, demonstrating people' s good manners and great interest in drinking liquors , as well as effective functions and sad or sorrowful consequences of drinking liquors or sprints, and clearly showing people' s good intents or sinister intentions. China has had the tradition of "People enjoy dances and songs as though they were enjoying a feast. " This also holds true of appreciating dramas. That is where the most distinctive feature of Chinese entertainment culture consists. That is the main reason why so many intoxicated characters and so many stories related to excessive drinking have been brought on the stage and have become so popular. Seen from the angle of stage presentation, the characters' drunken postures are shown to be worth appreciating. The poetic drama mentioned above forms a connecting link bewteen what comes before and what goes after in the history of stage presentation of dramas with drunken scenes, contributing to the birth of Kunqu Opera the Intoxicated Groom, which was staged afterwards.
