《红楼梦》作品及研究瑕疵举隅

Examples of Flaws in the Research Efforts on Red Chamber Dream

《红楼梦》研究是一门显学。新红学差不多走了一条考证的道路。主要研究曹雪芹和贾宝玉的关系,还提出了后四十回当为高鹗所作的论断,几乎成为定论。提出问题的原因是前八十回和后四十回极不对等。笔者对人物年龄等问题研究分析发现,前八十回内也有不对等的现象,后四十回有其独特价值。作者或为曹雪芹一人未可知也。

Red Chamber Dream studies are a famous school. New Red Chamber Dream studies are more or less in the path of textual research. New Red Chamber Dream studies endeavor to identify Cao Xueqin and Jia Baoyu, and argue that the latter 40 episodes were written by Gao E, which seems to be the last word. The reason is that the former 80 episodes and the latter 40 episodes don＇t agree with each other in style and characters. The author has found that respeet from the ages of the characters in the novel. However, the author holds the view that the latter 40 episodes possess their unique values and deserve more attention, and that there is some possibility that the latter 40 episodes could be written by Cao Xueqin himself as well.
