试说罗贯中续《水浒》

Luo Guanzhong: The Co-author of Shui Hu

《水浒传》可分为两部分,前半为施耐庵原作,后半为罗贯中续作。纵观全书,前后部分之间存在不少矛盾之处,梁山好汉最可贵的反贪官、反豪强的精神到下半部完全改变,受招安更是违反历史发展规律。而罗贯中的一贯思想是维护封建正统,反对农民起义。将《水浒》后半部与罗贯中本人所作的《三遂平妖传》、《残唐五代史演传》相对照,也会发现不少相似之处。这些都证明,《水浒》后半部确为罗贯中所续写。

Shui Hu could be divided into two parts, The former was written by Shi Nai＇an, and the latter was by Luo Guanzhong, This was evidenced by the many discords in the book, The core spirits of revolting in the heroes of Liang Mountain was totally disappeared in the latter half, It is not reasonable that the heroes surrender finally. Moreover, Shi nai＇an himself was showing his loyalty to the imperial government all the time, And there are many similarity between the latter half of Shui hu and Luo Guanzhong＇ s other novels. These all suggest that Luo is the coauthor of Shui Hu.
