谁该是短命二郎——试从绰号变更管窥阮氏三雄亲缘关系的变迁

Who should be the "Short-lived Second Oldest Son"——On the Change of the Relative Relation of Three Men with the Surname of "Ruan" through the Change of Nicknames

早期的水浒故事,如《宋江三十六赞》及《大宋宣和遗事》中,阮小二(阮进)的绰号是"短命二郎",而阮小五(阮通)的绰号是"立地太岁";到了今本《水浒传》,二人绰号被调换。之所以出现这种调换,是因为随着水浒故事在民间的流传,阮氏三雄的关系逐渐密切,小二、小五、小七等名字脱落了原来的排行信息,阮氏三雄成了亲兄弟,阮小五被径直当作了排行第二的"短命二郎"。

In the stories of ＂Shui Hu＂ in the early time, the nickname of Ruan Xiao＇er （Ruan Jing） is the ＂Short - lived Second Oldest Son＂ and Ruan Xiaowu＇s （Ruan Tong） nickname is the ＂Li Di Tai Sui （A powerful person）＂. In the new version of ＂Shui Hu＂ nowadays, the nicknames of these two men have been changed. The change of the nicknames is due to the fact that the three men with the surname of ＂ Ruan＂ in the stories are becoming more intimate with the widespread of the stories among the people. The information of the birth sequences in their names （Xiao Er, Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi） is neglected and the three men with the surname of ＂ Ruan＂ became blood brothers and Ruan Xiaowu is regarded by people the second oldest brother ＂Short -lived Second Oldest Son＂.
