《王阳明先生出身靖乱录》作者小考

A Brief Study of the Author of Biography of Mr Wang Yangming and his Experience of Quelling Revolts

《三教偶拈序》署名"东吴畸人七乐生",此为冯梦龙之别号。《王阳明先生出身靖乱录》结尾诗署别号"髯翁",此为冯梦龙晚年所作小说中诗的别署。冯梦龙编撰的《智囊》辑录王阳明的生平事迹,其中不少写入《王阳明先生出身靖乱录》中,两书对王阳明的评价也完全一致,这是冯梦龙作《王阳明先生出身靖乱录》的重要旁证。

The author of Preface to A Collection of Three Religious Stories signed his name as ＂Deformed Person Qile Sheng in the Eastern Wu＂, which was a sobriquet of Feng Menglong. And the author of the last poem in Biography of Mr Wang Yangming and his Experience of Quelling Revolts named himself ＂Man with Beard＂, which also an informal name of Feng Menglong, signed after his poems in the novels writing in his later years. The book Brain Tank edited by Feng Menglong collected Wang Yangming＇ s life stories, and some of those stories were also in the book Biography of Mr Wang Yangrning and his Experience of Quelling Revolts. And more, the two books did the same judgement on Wang Yangming. All of these could be important collateral evidences for that Feng Menglong was the author of Biography of Mr Wang Yangming and his Experience of Quelling Revolts.
