让曹雪芹哭笑不得的“旷世知音”——兼与刘再复先生商榷

A So-called "Incomparable Soul Mate" of CAO Xue-qin

刘再复先生给今年即将再版的梁归智的《红学泰斗周汝昌传》作序,他的题目直言"周汝昌是中国文学第一天才的旷世知音"。刘先生的"首先如此肯定曹雪芹的无比崇高地位的是周汝昌先生"的论断是错误的。纵观周汝昌研红的一生及成果只能证明他"根本不懂《红楼梦》",在《红楼梦》研究上他一生都是在证假为真,都是在曲解、颠覆《红楼梦》的思想内容、艺术构思。周汝昌其实不是考证派,而是典型的索隐派;他的一切所谓的考证,其实都打着索隐派的烙印,他也把自己定位为索隐派。他的索隐其实都是脱离了文本的"悟证",是猜笨谜,乱索隐。因此,他绝对不能被称为中国文学第一天才曹雪芹的旷世知音。

Mr.LIU Zai-fu,in the preface of the reprinted book ＂A Biography of Mr.ZHOU Ru-chang＂ written by LIANG Gui-zhi,calls Mr.ZHOU Ru-chang ＂the incomparable soul mate of CAO Xue-qin,the first literary talent in Chinese history＂,and LIU’s comment in the preface ＂Mr.ZHOU Ru-chang is the first to confirm CAO’s sublime position in literature＂ is mistaken.A review of Mr.ZHOU Ru-chang’s study on CAO’s ＂A Dream of Red Mansions＂ and his research results shows that ＂he has no comprehension of the masterpiece＂ and his lifelong study on the book only proves that he treats falsehood as truth and misinterprets the book.ZHOU doesn’t belong to textual criticism school but to school of searching for hidden meanings,and his so-called textual research is evidently with the characteristics of school of searching for hidden meanings which is far from the textual meaning.To sum up,ZHOU Ru-chang is not at all CAO Xue-qing’s incomparable soul mate.
