《红楼梦》脂评本与《还原脂砚斋》——对八十年来新红学派存在价值的质疑

The Version of "A Dream of Red Mansions" with Comments by Zhi Yanzhai and "Restoration of ZhiYanzhai"— Oppugn on the Value of Existence of Neo-Red School for over 80 Years

《红楼梦》脂评本自上世纪30年代胡适"发现"以来,一直被红学界认作研究《红楼梦》最有价值也是最为可信的本子。但对脂评在《红楼梦》问世后一百七十余年方始"出世",其真实性究竟如何,后人还是有权利质疑的。欧阳健《还原脂砚斋》一书对脂砚斋及脂评本的存在提出了许多值得我们认真思考的问题。奉脂评本为红学研究圭臬的人为保卫自己的"精神饭碗"和"研究成果",必须作出有效的反应,否则己之研究成果当存在付诸东流的危险。

Since the “discovery” by Hu Shi in 1930s, the version of “A Dream of Red Mansions” with comments by Zhi Yanzhai has been regarded as the most valuable and most trustworthy version for the researches on “A Dream of Red Mansions”. However, the later generations are rightful for oppugning on the genuineness of the version since its “birth” was over 170 years after it came to the world. The “Restoration of ZhiYanzhai” by Ouyang Jian raises many issues on the existence of “A Dream of Red Mansions” with comments by Zhi Yanzhai that worth our earnest consideration. Those take it as the standard for the research will surely defend their “spiritual rice bowl” and “research achievement”, otherwise, their research achievements are in danger of being wasted completely.
