During the period of the Six Dynasties,the development of Zhiguai novels ushered in the first prosperous period.Various stories of ghosts,ghosts and demons have emerged,building a fantasy and magnificent heterogeneous world.Among all kinds of story forms,ghost stories are particularly eye-catching.The ghost stories,which are independent from the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties' historical literature and Zhuzi's prose,are not only the largest in number,but also show a clear world-oriented tendency in narrative content and image creation.Compared with the predecessors,these worldly ghost stories show a richer ideological connotation and reflect the spiritual outlook of an era.At the same time,the world-oriented writing of ghost stories also has a profound impact on later novels and dramas.The specific research on the ghost stories in the Six Dynasties involved four aspects:evolutionary trajectory analysis,ideological connotation interpretation,cause analysis,significance and influence.First,the ghost stories in the previous two Han Dynasties were mainly concentrated in historical literature and Zhuzi prose,and the narrative was grand The focus is on national events and philosophical thoughts.The characters serve the narrative and have a thin image.The ghost stories in the Zhiguai novels of the Six Dynasties are more realistic.They turn their attention to folk daily life in the narrative content.The character modeling begins to focus on the expression of human feelings and human nature.From this transformation,the world-oriented tendency of ghost stories can be found..Secondly,the world-oriented ghost stories in the Zhiguai novels of the Six Dynasties contain the social style of an era.Faced with the social reality of constant wars,the authors show people 's desire to expand the length of life and increase the value of life through the stories of secular folk ghosts;in the face of the suppression of class imprisonment and ritual education,the story of the transformation of life and death is transformed through a piece of image It expresses people's praises for sincere love;in the face of the chaotic and uneasy life status,it shows the attention to the real world through the story of collusion between human and ghost officials and the story of preaching benevolence and filial piety,thus reflecting the voice of the general public.Thirdly,the globalization of ghost stories in the Six Dynasties is inseparable from the spread of religious beliefs and the author's concept of compilation.Thedevelopment of religion is inseparable from the spread of faith.The teachings of Buddhism and Taoism are combined with ghost stories.Through the folk stories,religious concepts such as longevity,Taoism,and reciprocal rebirth are communicated.At the same time,the development of the world of ghost stories is also promoted.Many of the author groups of Zhiguai novels in the Six Dynasties came from historians.Their original purpose in compiling ghost stories was to collect local whispers that are not allowed in the official history,and to supplement the history of queerness through folk ghosts and gods.And although the authors at that time had not yet deliberately made a novel,they had begun to realize the value of Zhiyou's novel "traveling in the heart",and unconsciously reprocessed it when selecting and recording ghost stories,thus deepening the ghost image.Realistic.Finally,the globalization of ghost stories has a profound impact on the narrative motifs,text references,and image creation in later literary creations."Spirit of the Soul" draws on the plot of "Spirit of the Soul" from "The Netherworld · Pang A" to convey the infatuation of "Qian Niang"."Liao Zhai Zhi Yi" not only inherits the story motifs such as the love between humans and ghosts,the ghosts of the local government,and the evil ghosts,but also absorbs the characteristics of various ghost images from the ghost stories of the six dynasties."Dou'e Injustice" and "Peony Pavilion" were born from "Sou Shen Ji · Taohai Xiaowo","Sou Shen Postscript · Li Zhongwennv","Sou Shen Ji · Tan Sheng Wife and Ghost",and were made in the previous work The narrative technique and ideological implication draws profound nutrition.
