人面桃花的故事屡见明清小说、戏曲当中,其源出自唐诗《题都城南庄》,作者崔护。这个动人的故事得以长期流传和搬演,主要原因有两个方面:其一,中国文人的“人面桃花”情结;其二,文学形式的演进规律和商贾娱乐文化的推动。 The peach blossom story is often seen in novels of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Among the operas, its origins are from the poem Tang Nan Quan, entitled Cui Hu. This moving story can be circulated and performed for a long time. There are two main reasons for this story: First, the “peach blossom” complex of Chinese literati; second, the evolution of literary form and the promotion of commercial entertainment culture.
