希望《水浒》三大疑案早日作出定论——记罗尔纲先生未了的心愿

Wishing the Three Mysteries of Shuihu to Make a Final Conclusion Early—On Mr.Luo Ergang's Unrealized Willing

我国老一辈的著名学者罗尔纲先生一向以对太平天国史的研究闻名于世。很多人都不知道,他对《水浒》一书的研究,比对太平天国史的研究起步更早,历史更长,用力更勤。直到去世,他对《水浒》三大疑案———主题、作者、原本———的破解工作仍未完成。因此,由后人来接棒,继续进行研究,破解三大疑案,整理出一部最真(没有伪造部分)、最善(内容比较成熟)、最美(文字已作加工)的《水浒传》来,传之后世,就成为罗老未了的心愿。

Mr. Luo Ergang,the famous scholar of elder generation, is often known as his study of the history of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Few knows that his study of Shuihu is started earlier, lasted longerand working harder than that of the history of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Till his death, he doesn＇t solve the three mysteries of Shuihu ： theme, author and original manuscript. Therefore, it is the unrealized willing of Mr. Luo to go on with his study, solve the three mysteries and reorganize a most truth-without forging, most well-with comparatively matural content and most beautiful-with trimmed characters novel of Shuhu, and transmit to posterity by futurity.
