清中叶志怪小说集,沈起凤撰。《谐铎》成书于乾隆五十六年(1791),12卷,共122篇。书名《谐铎》,意思就是寓劝戒于嬉笑言谈之中。作者痛感社会的黑暗,人世的险恶,在《谐铎》中锋芒毕露的是强烈的现实批判性、警策性,如《棺中鬼手》篇,对贪官污吏进行了嘲讽;《桃夭村》篇,揭露了当时社会贿赂公行、是非颠倒的现象;《村姬毒舌》篇,讥弄了新科状元以财势诱人的丑态。每篇故事,非神即鬼,非精即怪,作者借题发挥,对于社会病态的解剖,人情世态的揭露,寓庄于谐,言简意深,颇具功力。再加上故事短小精焊,文字简练生动,大量运用夸张、对比、不协调、故意出错、轻重倒置、谐音等俳谐手法,写出了一篇篇以谐入铎、寓庄于谐的作品,使本书在当时社会就得以广泛流传。
古典长篇侠义公案小说的经典之作,堪称中国武侠小说的开山鼻祖;同时,作为中国第一部具有真正意义的武侠小说,《三侠五义》的版本众多、流传极广,书中脍炙人口的故事对中国近代评书曲艺、武侠小说乃至文学艺术的内容都产生了深远的影响。小说叙写北宋仁宗年间,包拯在众位侠义之士的帮助下,审奇案、平冤狱、以及众侠义除暴安良、行侠仗义的故事。书中塑造了一位铁面无私、不畏权势的清官形象,充分地体现了底层人民的愿望。其中包公平冤狱、“铡庞昱”、“除藩王”等情节,在一定程度上暴露了封建统治的黑暗,表现了人民群众的斗争精神。书中穿插了大量侠客们路见不平、拔刀相助的正义行为,表现出他们侠之大者、为国为民的本质。
