两位英雄结局对《水浒传》成书时代的有限界定

The Restricted Demarcation of the Formation of the Water Margin by the Final Result of the Two Heroes

《水浒传》中对于李俊、凌振的结局的安排含有明显的时代印记,这些时代印记是界定《水浒传》成书时代的有力内证,只要细致地探讨暹罗国的由来及火药局设立的时间,就能够很自然地将《水浒传》成书时代的上限定格在明代永乐初年。

The arrangement of the end of the two heroes, Li Jun and Ling Zheng, was of clear marks of the time. They are forceful inner proofs to determine when the novel was written. The careful study of the origin of Thailand and the establishment of the Gunpowder Office will determine that novel was written no earlier than the beginning of Yongle Period during Ming Dynasty.
