由“关云长五关斩将”说到《三国演义》的成书

From Guan Yunchang Going through Five Passes Killing Six Generals to the Written of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms

本文从考证“关云长五关斩将”故事中的地理错误入手，将《三国志平话》与黄正甫刊本《三国志传》之间内在的脉络联系揭示了出来，用坚实的证据说明明中叶出现的黄正甫刊本《三国志传》乃今见最早刻本，该本没有题作者姓名。嘉靖本《三国志通俗演义》应在该本之后出现，题为“罗本贯中编次”不可信。黄正甫刊本中有证据说明，该书的最初写定者应是一个土生土长于南方的下层文人。
