士人尚游歷,在晚明時期成為社會上的一股顯著風氣,士人游歷之風的盛行尤其對當時的戲曲創作與發展具有明顯影響。主要體現在:一、晚明戲曲家士人群體多有尚游之舉;二、晚明戲曲在題材和內容擇取上多具備士人角色游歷描寫要素;三、晚明戲曲從文體到結構都因此產生新的變化。晚明戲曲結撰所涉及運用的游歷描寫模式,不但符合古典戲曲敘事機制的要求,同時也表現其審美藝術特征。

The rising fashion of travel among literati during the late Ming period significantly influenced the creation and development of xiqu. As many late-Ming playwrights shared great interest in travel, the choice of xiqu’s theme and content also included portrayals of travel experiences. As a result, xiqu developed new features in its style and structure during this period. The model of portraying travel experiences in xiqu during the late-Ming period not only accorded with the requirement of xiqu’s narrative mechanism, but also displayed its aesthetic characteristics and artistic features.
