摘要
《三國演義》一書創造了許多膾炙人口的情節與人物，其影響力是四大奇書之最，然不論從哪個角度解讀《三國演義》的主題，都離不開其思想價值，而其思想價值中，最重要的價值之一就是「義」。《三國演義》一改正史的曹魏正統，而改以蜀漢作為正統的代表，強調了漢之「忠義」的「大義」觀念。又因部分取材自民間，加入了「兄弟結義」、「行俠仗義」等情節，使書中的「義」呈現出多元的面向，同時更貼近讀者。也因此在敘事觀點上也有了不同的角度，需要深入探討。而這也造成不同觀念之間的衝突，因此小說中充滿「義」、「利」、「大義」、「私義」等價值衝突，皆能牽涉到整部作品思想觀念的建構，值得深入細究。因此本文欲透過探討《三國演義》中「義」的價值觀，從小說人物與情節等方面著手，進一步解析小說「義」的整體架構，從「義」的角度解讀《三國演義》的寫作理念與價值。
並列摘要
The book The Romance of the Three Kingdoms created many popular plots and characters, and its influence is the most significant among the four masterworks of Chinese literature. However, regardless of how The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is interpreted, its ideological value cannot be overlooked, with one of the most important values being "morality." The Romance of the Three Kingdoms substitutes the Kingdom of Wei, which is considered orthodox in official history, with the Kingdom of Shu, and emphasizes Shu's "loyalty" and "righteousness." Additionally, because some plots are drawn from folklore, the concept of "morality" in the book presents multiple facets and makes it more relatable to readers, such as "brotherhood morality" and "chivalrous morality." As a result, there are different perspectives that need to be explored in depth. This also leads to conflicts between different moral concepts. Therefore, the novel is rich in value conflicts such as "morality" and "profit" and "great morality" and "private morality," which are integral to the construction of the work's overall ideological concepts and are worthy of in-depth study. This thesis will explore the concept of "morality" in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, starting with an analysis of the novel's characters and plots. It will further examine the overall structure of morality within the novel and interpret the writing's themes and values from the perspective of "morality".
