论“《水浒传》成书于嘉靖初年”说之不成立——就教于石昌渝先生

On the untenable view ofShuihuzhuan was published at the beginnig of Jiajin——Discussing with Mr.Shi Changyu

石昌渝近年来发表系列考据文章论证“《水浒传》成书于嘉靖初年”,一些学者撰文提出质疑和反证。本文从终结这场论争的立场出发,在对石氏立论证据土兵、银子、子母炮及腰刀逐一证伪的基础上,从学术思维和文学史脉的双重背景上,论证即使以学术假说视之,石氏是说亦不能成立,进而提出了“《水浒传》成书于元代中叶”这一虽未经证实、但却有较大合理性的学术假说。

Mr. Shi Changyu has written a seires of articles recently to prove that Shuihuzhuan was published at the beginning of Jiajin. Some scholars have also written papers to put forth their doubts and disproof. In order to end the dispute the writer of the present paper, on the basis of evidences that soldiers, silver, cluster bomb unit, and dagger were false, from the double backgrounds of academic thinking and materials of literary history, has demontrated that Mr. Shi Changyu＇s view does not hold water even if it is regarded as an academic hypothesis, and further brought up his hypothesis that Shuihuzhuan was published in the middle of Yuan Dynasty, which has not been proved, but quite reasonable.
