An Analysis of the Intertextuality Characteristics in the Acceptance Phenomenon of Jin Ping Mei In Ming and Qing Dynasties
The interpretation of Jin Ping Mei shows obvious intertextuality:early readers flaunt the function and achievement of the novel by referring to classics such as the Book of Songs and Historical Records;Commentators obsessed with grammar crack the meta-phor of the corresponding structure in the text through close reading,on the other hand,they carry out dialogue between texts around similar problems;The authors of the secular novels interpret the theme and artistic interpretation of the original works by constructing new stories.This persistent exploration of various special connections between and within the texts is caused by the special thinking mode of"interconnectedness"of Chinese people,the writing principle of according to classics and complementarity of explicit and im-plicit,as well as the interpretation habit of mutual initiation and extensive quotation.It not only exists in the acceptance and interaction of Jin Ping Mei,but also in the literary interpretation tradition of the Chinese people.
