談李師師故事的演變

The Development of the Story of Li Shi Shi

《宋史》中並無有關李師師的記載，但南北宋之間確有李師師此人。如南宋孟元老的《東京夢華錄》卷五〈京瓦伎藝〉記載李師師是擅長「小唱」的歌者，其他宋人的筆記中也有零星記錄。佚名的〈李師師外傳〉與作者不詳的《大宋宣和遺事．亨集》都有李師師和宋徽宗相遇共處的描寫，但內容大不相同。《水滸全傳》、《水滸後傳》、《續金瓶梅》等書中的李師師又是另外的樣貌。末代皇帝和京城名妓的繾綣或許是古今同感興趣的話題，現代人又將它改寫為白話小說、編成電視連劇演出。本文主要從宋代筆記雜說、古代小說和現代小說三方面，排比相關的作品，理出李師師故事演變的頭緒，可看出古今小說創作的重點和差異。

In Song History, the name of Li Shi Shi was found nowhere; however, in the Chinese History of South-North period, there was indeed such a person named Li Shi Shi. As evidenced in his Dong Jing Mong Hua Lu, volume 5th, in the article of Jing Wa Ji Yi,Mong Yuan Lao of South-Song described Li Shi Shi as a geisha good at singing minors. Sporadic recordings about Li Shi Shi may also be found in different Notes. The episode of Li Shi Shi romantically getting along with the North Song Emperor, Song Hui Zong, was described anonymously in both books of Li Shi Shi Wai Zhaun and Da Song Xuan He Yi Shi- Volume Heng, but with the contents being quite different. Similarly among the three books of Shui Hu Chuan Zuan, SHui Hu Hou Zhuan, and Xu Jing Ping Mei, each had otherwise featured Li Shi Shi in a unique way. The ecstatic theme in the story of the emperor Song Hui Zong with the capital geisha Li Shi Shi having been appealing throughout the history since the South Song Dynasty, modern people have furthermore rewritten the same topic into different style of vernacular novels or TV series. This paper concerned will focus on the Song Dynasty’s Notes and miscellaneous Essays, as well as ancient and modern Novels, paralleled and compared, to go through the documents with a fine-tooth-comb to find out the ins and outs of the story of Li Shi Shi and meanwhile to figure out the different emphases and variance of novel-creation between ancient and modern Novels.
