《桃花扇》中的道教思想解读

孔尚任虽为圣裔 ,从小受的是儒家教育 ,奉习孔孟之道 ,但他的《桃花扇》中却有丰富的道教思想。在《桃花扇》中他表露出对儒士政治的失望和儒家社会理想的破灭 ,而将希望移向了道教。他为侯方域、李香君等人物安排了入道的结局 ,又将史可法、左良玉等册为道教中神。孔尚任在《桃花扇》中构筑了一个道教洞天式的精神家园———桃花源 ;这是他企求的理想社会的幻景。他在此传奇中也是以道教的兴亡观归结兴亡案的。

Kong Shang-ren though ideal society should be Shiwai Taoyuan, a Taoism's cave heaven-fairy land. In this works,he also used Taoism's theory to analyse the Southming Dynasty's destruction.
