明传奇戏曲承衍和改编了唐传奇小说中的故事，但两者由于文体不同的情况下，在篇幅、情节和人物都有所差异。唐传奇中的次要人物，在明传奇中的重要性被提高了不少。侠客在唐传奇初期是爱情故事中的配角，描写得不清晰，但是以唐传奇小说作为母题的明传奇戏曲则在原有的基础上增加了不少生动的描写。这些爱情故事中的侠客们，都会在故事的紧要关头出现，帮助男女主角脱困，并重新撮合他们。侠客在这些文本中不只具备了他们典型的义勇之气， 同时也拥有媒人的基本特质，成为男女主角的特殊媒人。本论文将以唐传奇《无双传》、《霍小玉传》、《柳氏传》与明传奇《明珠记》、《紫钗记》、《玉合记》作为讨论文本，谈论侠客如何兼赋两种身份，也探讨他们从唐传奇到明传奇中的形象演变。Tang Chuanqi tale has a great weight in the writing of the pieces in Ming Chuanqi drama. Although similarities could be identified in both Chuanqi, there are differences observed in the elements of the story. Ming Chuanqi changed the characterization, plot length and storyline adapting it into a drama instead of using the original novel. This difference is particularly evident in the role of the supporting characters, where their parts are greatly emphasized and incurred in Ming Chuanqi. In the initial period of Tang Chuanqi, the character traits of the gallant supporting roles are not properly developed. Although their parts in the romance novels are significant, they had brief appearances. In Ming Chuanqi, the description and development of these supporting roles are more detailed. These supporting characters will make their appearance by giving aid to the protagonists, thus helping them reunite. Other than being loyal and courageous which are their usual traits, they possess the quality of a matchmaker. Therefore, these characters can be viewed from a different perspective. This thesis focuses on these unique matchmakers, detailing the changes of their characterization from Tang Chuanqi to Ming Chuanqi. In this thesis, The Tale of Wu Shuang, The Tale of Huo Xiaoyu, The Tale of Liu Shi from Tang chuanqi, as well as The Pearl, The Purple Hairpin, The Jade Box from Ming chuanqi, are chosen to exemplify this particular quality.
