论《〈红楼梦〉的两个世界》和红学发展方向

On Two Worlds of A Dream in Red Mansions and the Developing Direction of the Study of A Dream of Red Mansions

余英时《〈红楼梦〉的两个世界》是红学研究史上极重要的文献,深刻地影响着红学研究。由于时代、历史的局限,该理论有着难以克服的局限——将两个世界具体化。这主要根源于对红学学术史、库恩"范式"理论的误解和新旧风气的影响,有必要重审此。红学研究的深入必须建立在对红楼梦文本细读和对前人成果的创造性继承之上,这才是红学研究的真正"出口"。

Two Worlds of A Dream of Red Mansions by YU Yingshi is an important work for the study of A Dream of Red Mansions. And it has an extensive and profound influence. Because of limitations of time and history, his theory has its own weakness： specification of the two worlds. It is mainlydue to the influence of academic history of study of A Dream of Red Mansions and of both new and old social trends, and the misunderstanding of Kun＇s paradigm theory. And it is necessary to reexamine it. Thedeepened study of A Dream of Red Mansions should be based on the careful reading of the text of the novel and innovative inheritance of predecessors＇ fruits. This is really the way out.
