朱貞木小說創作理念與實踐探析

An analysis of Zhu Zhenmu's Notion and Practice of Fiction Writing

朱貞木，本名朱楨元，民國二○年代後期堀起於中國武壇，以奇詭佈局自成一家，被推為代表三○年代武使小說創作最高水平的北派五大家。然而，即使朱貞木在近代武俠小說發展史上占有重要地位，對於朱貞木武俠小說的特殊敍事風格與藝術成就，目前兩岸相關的專論探討卻寥寥可數。因此，本文首先擬以透過分析朱貞木異於他人的敍事策略，從中探討朱貞木本人對於武俠小說創作的想法與觀念，並檢討朱貞木在實踐於創作時，其所主張的理念對小說所造成的瓶頸與成就，期望能對朱貞木小說的內涵有更深入的認識，並讓朱貞木能於中國武壇之中引起更大的迴響與討論。

Zhu Zhenmu, whose autonym is Zhu Zhenyuan, stood out prominently in the literary world of Chinese swordsman fiction in the late 1930s. Zhu developed his own style of swordsman fiction through his extraordinary story layout and thereby secured a place as one of the top five authors of the northern school of swordsman fiction during the 1940s. Zhu's works have an important position in the history of the development of modern swordsman fiction; however, there is just sprinkling of studies on the special narrative style and artistic achievement of Zhu's swordsman fiction. Hence, this paper analyzes Zhu's peculiar narrative strategy and discussed his notion of swordsman fiction writing. This paper also reviews how Zhu's notion impacted on his practice of swordsman fiction writing and tries to dissect the connotation of Zhu's fiction. The goal of this paper is to make the literary world of Chinese swordsman fiction pay more attention to Zhu's works.
