The "yinggexiaomu" story in the Zhabaozhangjing was adapted by sermon baochuen, among which the earliest is yinggebaochuen in the Tongzhi era, revealing its close ties with secular religion. The same yinggexiaomu theme has also appeared in other literary forms such as the tzihua, gutzi, Fuzhoupinghua, Honansanxiuan and other secular literatures circulating since the Ming Dynasty. Careful examination would show that each of these versions have similar plots that are adapted from Buddhist stories. The difference lies only in the manner of dissemination and circulation of the story plot, according to the medium, environment, audience and other factors. The adaption and narration of the same plot would henceforth contain discrepancies that could be logically apprehended. This paper is a study on the content and theme on the Academia Sinica version of the Tongzhi-era yinggebaochuen, approaching the matter from the point of view of educational and entertainment functions within the framework of secular literature. The aim is to observe the application of the "yinggexiaomu" theme among various secular literatures, and comprehensively arrive at certain uniformities of the diachronic and synchronic development of secular literature. |
