《韩擒虎话本》中韩擒虎结局的叙事重构

The Reconstruction of Underworld Narration on Han Qinhu’s Death in the Han Qinhu Huaben

摘要: 《韩擒虎话本》是敦煌藏经洞出土话本中保存较为完整、艺术价值较高的一篇。通过与同样记载隋将韩擒虎事迹的传世文献相比勘可知，该作品为经叙事重构而成的话本写本，其中主人公韩擒虎的结局尤具代表性。这一叙事重构中，身份叙事、仪式叙事和对话叙事三重叙事策略共同完成了英雄形象的文学建构，既展现出话本文学的大众化特质，又折射出时下大众想象对话本文学的渗透。研究这一叙事重构，可观敦煌话本文学的叙事艺术以及文化特质。

Abstract: Han Qinhu Huaben, unearthed from the Dunhuang Library Cave, is a well-preserved literary huaben of remarkable artistic value. A comparative reading of this text and handed-down historical records documenting the life of General Han Qinhu of the Sui Dynasty reveals that the huaben manuscript is the product of a thorough narrative reconstruction. Collation with extant transmitted texts that likewise record the deeds of Sui general Han Qinhu reveals that this work is a huaben manuscript shaped by narrative reconstruction, in which the ending of the protagonist Han Qinhu is particularly representative. Within this reconstruction, three narrative strategies—identity narrative, ritual narrative, and dialogic narrative—jointly accomplish the literary construction of the heroic figure. This artistic design not only embodies the popular orientation of huaben literature but also reflects the infiltration of contemporary imagination into this genre. An exploration of such narrative reconstruction helps grasp the unique narrative and cultural characteristics of Dunhuang huaben literature.
