日本は古代より中国文学の強い影響を受けてきたが、特に近世に至って出版産業の発展と書物の流通の拡大は、中国文学の日本における受容と変容を加速させる契機となった。その代表的な例が、中国古典小説『水滸伝』の受容と、それを翻案した作品群の〈水滸伝もの〉である。『水滸伝』は、当時の読者に漢文原典で紹介された後、翻訳や翻案を経て、読本をはじめとする様々な小説ジャンルに大きな影響を与えた。 本稿では、『水滸伝』が日本文学の中でどのように翻案され、再構成されたかを分析するための基礎として、〈水滸伝もの〉の種類と特徴を考察する。『水滸伝』の受容は、単なる中国古典文学の受容にとどまらず、読本という新しい小説ジャンルの形成にも影響を与えた。従来の日本文学史では、『水滸伝』は読本成立の中心的存在として評価されてきたが、本稿ではその影響力を一つの構成要素として位置づけつつ、〈水滸伝もの〉という作品群が日本文学史において果たした具体的な役割と位置づけを、「知の拡散」という観点から再検討する。
Abstract
Since ancient times, Japan has been deeply influenced by Chinese literature. In particular, during the early modern period, the development of the publishing industry and the expansion of book distribution accelerated the reception and transformation of Chinese literature within Japan. A representative example of this phenomenon is the reception of the Chinese classical novel “Suikoden” and the group of adapted works known as ‘Suikodenmono’. Initially introduced to Japanese readers in its original Classical Chinese form, “Suikoden” was later translated and adapted, significantly influencing various literary genres, including the Yomihon. This paper examines the types and characteristics of ‘Suikodenmono’ as a preliminary step toward analyzing how “Suikoden” was adapted and restructured within Japanese literature. The reception of “Suikoden” not only reflects the acceptance of Chinese classical literature, but also contributed to the formation of a new genre of fiction—the Yomihon. While conventional literary histories of Japan have regarded “Suikoden” as central to the emergence of Yomihon, this study positions its influence as one of several formative elements. Furthermore, it reexamines the significance and role of ‘Suikodenmono’ in Japanese literary history from the perspective of knowledge dissemination.
