摘　　要：佛法不外乎真俗二谛,俗谛从有、色,真谛讲无、空。明清世情小说的最大特色之一就是佛教叙事,以强化世情小说的劝世主旨。绝大多数小说宣扬因果报应等俗谛,少数作品诠释佛教真谛。以佛教意蕴最浓烈的《金瓶梅》、《醒世姻缘传》、《红楼梦》等三部作品为例,从佛教真俗二谛的视角,阐释明清世情小说佛教叙事的成败得失:《金瓶梅》是真俗二谛一隐一显,《醒世姻缘传》主要是俗谛的演绎,《红楼梦》则洋溢着浓郁的佛教真谛而独占鳌头,成为世情小说的巅峰之作。Buddhism is simply ＂true meaning＂ and ＂common meaning＂,the former being Abstract or invisible and the latter visible and colorful.One of the greatest characteristics of Ming and Qing novels about human relations is their buddhist narration,which is aimed to strengthen their gist of promoting virtues.Most of the novels propagate such ＂common meanings＂ as karma and only a small number of them interpret ＂true meanings＂ of Buddhism.Jin Ping Mei＇s ＂true meaning＂ is faint and its ＂common meaning＂ obvious.The Legend of Waking Marriage mostly deduces ＂common meaning＂,while A Dream of Red Mansions is imbued with ＂true meanings＂ of Buddhism,thus becoming the greatest of novels about human relations.
