摘要

明胡應麟在《少室山房筆叢》裏說：至唐人乃作意好奇，假小說以寄筆端。唐代文人是有意識的創作小說，不僅文章篇幅長，描寫曲折的情節，姑不論作品的寓意及作者所要表達的創作意識如何，唐傳奇故事中的超人意識，無疑也是民間童話經常出現的，而〈枕中記〉的「超現實」如真如幻的敘述手法，正符合了民間童話的重要特點：濃厚的幻想、豊富的想像和浪漫主義精神。

“Shao-Shi-Shan-Fan Essay”, written by Hu Ying-lin the Ming dynasty, claimed that people in the Tang dynasty expressed their thinking with implications through novels. Actually, it means that scholars in the Tang dynasty created novels with deliberation. The novels they were made up of were not only long but the plots in novels were complicated and winding as well. Regardless of what the implication of the novels was and of what imagination the author wanted to depicted, it is no doubt that the super imagination of legends written in the Tang dynasty often appeared in folk fairy tales; moreover, the genre of‘Super-reality’in “Pillow Note”---like truth but fantasy --- did meet the characteristics of folk fairy tales: strong fantasy, full imagination, and romanticism.
