碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 中國文學研究所 === 93 === Having traverse the long passage of time, stories centering the theme of Scholar-Beauty Romance became a unique genre during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. On the one hand, Scholar-Beauty Romance fiction took after plays of the same kind (represented by The Peony Pavilion) belonging to the late Ming Dynasty, while on the other, led to the creation of The Dream of The Red Mansion, where the Scholar-Beauty Romance structure formed part of the novel’s overall framework. Scholar-Beauty Romance stories became a huge literature type. This dissertation base its research on the texts of The Peony Pavilion, Scholar-Beauty Romance fiction of the late Ming to early Qing era and The Dream of the Red Mansion. Through analyses and comparisions of works, it attempts to discuss the development of the Scholar-Beauty Romance story type and look at the inheritance and transformation path of Scholar-Beauty Romance stories, as well as their introspection and significance, via the manifestations of key literature themes i.e. image of character, “qing”(feeling) and “garden” etc. The first chapter is the introduction which explains the writing motive and goal. The second chapter discusses the image transformation of “Scholar” and “Beauty”from Scholar-Beauty Romance stories to The Dream of The Red Mansion. The third chapter attempts to layout and organize the notion of “qing”(feeling) from the late Ming era to The Dream of The Red Mansion as well as inquire into the dialogue and reflection of various concepts demostrated in the works e.g. “Feeling” versus “Desire”, “Reason”, “Talent” and “Emptiness” etc. “Garden” had been used on a massive scale in Scholar-Beauty Romance stories. By analyzing this trait, the fourth chapter probes the functions of garden in these works and the shift of its position in love. This aids the understanding of the importance of this special spatial establishment in Scholar-Beauty Romance genre. Fifth chapter is the conclusion.
