Abstract:
This article uses the “wise old man” archetype theory in Jung’s analytical psychology as a tool to conduct a psychological analysis of the character “Hong Riqing” in the film “King of Beggars”. The analysis reveals that the character Hong Riqing is the archetypal image of the wise old man in the collective unconscious mind of the protagonist Su Can. He appears when the individual encounters a mental predicament and is unable to heal themselves, providing guidance and facilitating the transformation and healing in the process of their mental individuation. The archetypal image of the wise old man, Hong Riqing in the film, has the image characteristics of the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism in the context of traditional Chinese culture, and its transformation and healing functions are manifested in various stages and scenes such as “testing”, “initial”, “cognition”, “dreaming”, and “transformation” in psychotherapy.
本文以荣格分析心理学中的“智慧老人”原型理论为工具,对电影《武状元苏乞儿》中的“洪日庆”这一角色进行心理分析。分析揭示出,洪日庆这一角色是主角苏灿集体无意识心灵中的智慧老人原型意象,其在个体遭遇心灵困境难以自愈时现身,为其提供指引,促成其心灵自性化过程中的转化与疗愈。电影中的洪日庆这一智慧老人原型意象具有中国传统文化背景下儒释道三者合一的形象特征,其转化与疗愈功能在心理治疗之“检验”“初始”“认知”“入梦”“转化”等诸阶段和诸场景中都有所体现。
