英雄書寫：劉清韻《小蓬萊仙館傳奇》的時代意識與女性自覺
Heroic Writing: Era Awareness and Women's Awakening in Liu Qingyun's Legend of Xiao Penglai Xianguan
摘要
劉清韻被稱為最多產的女戲曲家，除《小蓬萊仙館傳奇》十種，尚有《望洋嘆》、《拈花悟》及未見世十四種傳奇。本文關注到劉清韻大量創作與英雄書寫之間的關係，指出其懷抱以寫史心態寫劇，積極投入戲曲創作，希望能為英雄寫傳。劉清韻在劇作中賦予英雄新論述，包括男、女英雄。男英雄論述建立在中國傳統俠義文學脈絡下，結合時局與社會期待，提出既具傳統儒家道德品格，又具救國救民的時代英雄；女英雄則在傳統貞烈觀下，強調女性智謀的特質，甚至刻劃更勝男性一籌的危機處理能力，為其女權意識的表現。劉清韻的英雄書寫，使其劇作表現出對家國／時代／性別議題上的特殊關懷，也呈現與開展出與之前女劇作家不同的視野與見識。
並列摘要
Liu Qingyun is acclaimed as the most prolific woman playwright of the nineteenth century. In addition to Plays from the Pavilion of the Immortals of Xiao Penglai (ten plays in total), she also penned Wang yang tan, Nian hua wu and 14 works, which have been lost. This research focuses on how Liu's productivity is related to her heroic writing and how she paid tribute to heroes by writing heroic plays enthusiastically and in a way that was like composing works of history. Liu has inspired fresh discourse on both heroes and heroines. Characterized under the context of Chinese chivalric literature and at the same time being aware of the era and the social expectations, heroes in her plays live out traditional Confucian values and endeavor to save the nation and its people. On the other hand, her heroines not only uphold female chastity, but are even wiser and more resourceful than men when in crisis, exhibiting their awareness of women's rights. Liu's heroic writing takes special care of nation/era/gender issues; her perspectives and insights have set her apart from women playwrights before her.
