江紅蕉在後百期《禮拜六》中的短篇小說

A Study on Jiang Hong-jiao's short stories in the late a hundred volumes of Li-bai-liu magazine

鴛鴦蝴蝶派代表作家江紅蕉在後百期《禮拜六》雜誌共發表十一個短篇：包括社會小說〈電車司機人〉、〈造幣廠〉、〈黨派〉、〈席捲而去〉、〈復仇〉等五篇；家庭小說〈前妻之子〉、〈姊之名譽〉、〈孕〉、〈哭〉等四篇；言情小說〈馬革鶯聲〉和〈笑〉等兩篇。
在內容方面，江紅蕉的社會小說反映了民初工人生活的苦況、金融界和學校的亂象、官員和軍人的擾民害民；家庭小說則譴責了失德的男人、批判了不負責任的父母、控訴了傳統社會父權式的包辦婚姻和片面的貞節觀，這些觀點決不陳腐，其寫作的心情很沉重，對於平民百姓有很深的悲憫。
在形式技巧方面，江紅蕉的短篇小說具有「片斷化」的特性，且善用倒敘以及大量的心理描寫，表現出「現代化」的形式意義。
總之，江紅蕉發表在後百期《禮拜六》的短篇小說，雖然也有消沉、遊戲式等較為不可取的一面，但無論就內容對現實社會的反映，或形式技巧所表現的現代性，都有其值得肯定的地方。由此亦可以證明《禮拜六》雜誌，尤其是後百期《禮拜六》中的部分作品有其嚴肅的寫作目的，不盡然只是為了供市民娛樂而已。

Jiang Hong-jiao is one of the typical authors of The Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School. He published total 11 short stories in the late a hundred volumes of Li-bai-liu magazine. These novels not only contain a wide variety of elements and express modern points of view, but also have great achievements of the contents and the techniques of forms of writing.
In regard to the contents, Jiang Hong-jiao’s social novels reflect the difficult life of workers, chaotic phenomena in schools and financial communities, and how the government officials and soldiers bother and persecute the people in the early years of the Republic. His family novels on the other hand condemn the man that loses virtues, the parents that are irresponsible, and the traditional marriage of Patriarchy. The perspectives are never clichés. He writes with a heavy heart and has profound compassion for the ordinary people.
As for the techniques of forms of writing, Jiang Hong-jiao’s short novels have the characteristics of fragmentation. He’s good at flashing back methods and the narratives of the mind, which shows the formal meaning of “modernization.”
