传奇既是中国古代小说中的重要文类,又是中国小说发展史上的重要叙事传统。传奇叙事传统在以反传统为发端的中国现代文学发展过程中,尤其对于处在中国现代小说发展重要阶段的五四小说的转型中,非但没有消失断裂,而是在契合时代脉搏中得到了一脉相承的承袭与创造性转化,成为中国现代小说发展的重要背景和叙事要素。 Legend is not only an important genre in Chinese ancient novels, but also an important narrative tradition in the development of Chinese novels. In the process of the development of modern Chinese literature which takes anti-tradition as its starting point, especially in the transformation of the May Fourth novel, which was at an important stage in the development of Chinese modern novels, the legendary narrative tradition has not only failed to disappear but has broken down one after another in the pulse of the times Inheritance and Creative Transformation have become important background and narrative elements in the development of modern Chinese novels.
