李鼎其人其事——《石头记》评批者脂砚斋行状考辨

Some Investigations about Li Ding Who was Probably Zhi Yanzhai that Made First and Valuable Comments on Shitou Ji

脂砚斋是《红楼梦》一书最早、最有价值的评批者。然而,脂砚斋究竟姓甚名谁,一直众说纷纭。皮述民先生提出的"脂砚即李鼎"的说法极有见地,遂顺着这一思路,对李鼎其人其事,耙剔梳理,进行了一番考辨,并对皮述民先生的某些观点,做些商榷。

Zhi Yanzhai(pen name) was the man who made the first and most valuable annotation and commentaries on A Dream of Red Mansions,but opinions have varied about what his real name is.Pi Shumin proposed that Zhi Yanzhai was Li Ding with keen insight.Based on such an argument,some investigations were made about Li Ding and some comments were put forward on Pi Shumin's ideas.
