Abstract

摘要

梦本身没有政治性，但梦主常常以某种政治角色出现于政治舞台，进而使梦常常打上政治的印记，在历史变革中发挥着政治语言的作用。本论文以中国古代文献记载的政治梦为研究对象，借助文献研究法、比较法和个案研究法，考察梦与政治的关系以及梦中所蕴含的政治语言，说明在封建迷信思想与神学观念下，中国古代政治如何借助梦在政治运作中发挥特有的精神魔力。提出梦是帝王受命的政治符号语言，大臣劝说帝王的巧妙谏言，表达政治愿望的特殊隐言，决定战争决策的神秘预言。通过系统的梳理，最终得出结论，基于人们对梦的世俗迷信，在中国古代梦被政治家利用，作为实现政治野心或达到某种政治目的的一种手段。本研究运用了大量的政治梦实例，资料扎实，结构清晰，观点明确，对中国梦文学及政治语言学的发展都有重要的启发和参考价值。
