叶宪祖生平及其《四艳记》剧类之辨正

The Clarification of Ye Xianzu's Life and Textural Style of SiYanJi

叶宪祖于天启六年(1626)迁工部主事后,旋即升为该部郎中,晋升时限当在天启六年十月到七年八月之间。黄宗羲《改葬墓志铭》和《明史》的相关记载均不误,只是因为其中省略了一段事实过程。宪祖起复年份在崇祯元年,而他任南京刑部之职则应在崇祯三年(1630),且所任为刑部主事一职,而非“部郎”或“侍郎”。《明诗综》等对之未加考究,以致以讹传讹。应当结合《四艳记》的结构形式,以“南曲十一折(出)”的标准来确定其剧类。该剧内部结构明显呈现“块状”。将《四艳记》定为杂剧是合适的。

After Ye Xianzu became boss in promoted to vice minister from October of Tianqi 6 construction department at Tianqi 6 （1626）,he was to August of the next year. There was no fault in both Huang Zongxi＇s Res-bury Epitaph and the Ming Dynasty history about this. Mr Ye returned to office in Chong Zhen first year. But it was Chongzhen 3（1630） that he was appointed to Nanjing Ministry of Justice. Different from statement of and so on, the name of his duty was boss, neither ＂vice minister＂ nor the normal. We must determine the textural style of SiYanJi with drama＇s structure and standard of ＂11 chapers＂.The internal structure of SiYanJi presents obviously independent. So it is Zaju.
