摘　　要：“虎”在《金瓶梅》中是一个象征欲望的意象。词话本中以武松打虎开篇,通过武松打虎与小说其他情节的映射,警示读者“虎中美女”,即色欲的危险;崇祯本第一回则暗写武松打虎,明写玉皇庙观虎,通过二者的互相映射,揭示了财色之欲诱惑与危险并存的两面性;将虎作为象征欲望的意象,其灵感当来自道教内丹学理论,贯穿《金瓶梅》的“龙虎斗”结构以道教理论否定了西门庆等人纵欲的合理性;虎意象体现了《金瓶梅》中观念的丰富与复杂,对这一意象的使用,是服务于《金瓶梅》的欲望主题的。The tiger is an image that symbolizes desire in The Plum in the Golden Vase.The ballad edition begins with Wu Song fighting a tiger.By paralleling Wu Song’s battle with the tiger and other plotlines in the novel,it serves as a warning to readers about the danger of“tigers”in the form of beautiful women,representing the peril of lust.In the Chongzhen edition’s first chapter,it subtly depicts Wu Song fighting the tiger while explicitly describing the tiger at the Jade Emperor Temple.Through the juxtaposition of these two scenes,it reveals the dual nature of temptation and danger associated with wealth and lust.The view of tiger as a symbol of desire is informed by the Taoist theory of internal alchemy.The“Dragon and Tiger Battle”structure that runs throughout the novel challenges the rationality of indulging in desires,as it aligns with Taoist principles.The image of tiger embodies the richness and thematic complexity of The Plum in the Golden Vase,and its use serves the overarching theme of desire within the novel.
