《柳毅传》写的是洞庭龙女遭夫家虐待,后由柳毅传书至洞庭龙君而得解救的故事。虽是节选,但能自成篇章,具有完整的故事情节。作品按柳毅的言行踪迹写来,调动了传奇的艺术手法,使故事的情节平地生波,腾挪起伏,曲折引人,奇光闪闪。故事开场,述“儒生柳毅,应举下第,将还湘滨.念乡人有客子泾阳者,遂往告别。”如一泓无波清水,似几缕杨柳清风.可“至六七里,鸟起马惊,疾逸道左.”犹如异峰突起,巨澜陡生,忽闪出故事情节眩人眼目的奇光。 “Liu Yi Chuan” is a story about a woman who was tortured by her husband’s family and was rescued by Liu Yi and Chuan Dongting Dragon King. Although it is an excerpt, it can be made into a chapter with a complete storyline. The works were written according to Liu Yi’s words and deeds, mobilizing the legendary artistic techniques, making the plots of the story unto the waves, undulating, twists and turns, and glitz. The story begins and says, “Yuli Liu Yi should raise the next and will also return to Xiang Bin. Those who have a hometown who have a guest of Xiangyang will make good-bye to bid farewell.” If there is no wave of clear water, it will be like a few yangliu breeze. "To Qiliuli, The bird was marveled, and the road was right.” As if the peaks of the different peaks were raised, the giants were steep, and the strange story flashed out.
