摘　　要：《醒世姻缘传》写了一桩“阴阳颠倒,刚柔失调”的恶姻缘,丈夫狄希陈懦弱、愚蠢,妻子薛素姐悍泼、狠毒,不仅导致婚姻名存实亡,还气死了狄母与薛父,葬送了狄希陈的仕途。西周生写这桩恶姻缘,就是要劝男人竖起脊梁,女人做贤妻孝妇,其婚姻观相当陈腐。西周生的女性观更为落后,对悍妇极尽丑化之能事,对女性的正当权利也横加指责。小说大量的内容游离于恶姻缘故事之外,将笔触伸向世间乱象,指斥社会弊端,体现出西周生强烈的批判现实的精神。Xingshi Yinyuan Zhuan narrates a tale of a disastrous union,where the balance between yin and yang is overturned,resulting in a husband,Di Xichen,who is weak and foolish,and a wife,Xue Sujie,who is fierce and malicious.This ill-fated marriage not only brings about the demise of love but also infuriates Di’s mother and Xue’s father,ultimately extinguishing Di Xichen’s prospects.By depicting this tale,Xizhou Sheng aims to urge men to stand tall and women to become virtuous wives and filial daughters-in-law,reflecting a rather conventional view on marriage.However,Xizhou Sheng’s portrayal of women is regressive,depicting shrewish women in a caricatured manner and criticizing their legitimate rights.The novel delves beyond the narrative of the evil marriage,delving into the tumultuous world and condemning social ills,embodying Xizhou Sheng’s strong spirit of critiquing reality.
