《唐人七律神韵集》为伪托之作——兼王渔洋《神韵集》浅考

Anthology of Seven-word Metrical Poetry in the Tang Dynasty as Fake Works and Examination of Wang Yuyang's Selected Works of Romantic Charm

《神韵集》是清代大家王士禛早年编纂的唐诗选本。江西图书馆馆藏清初刻本《唐人七律神韵集》内署"王士祯(原名王士禛)选",当今学界一般认为该集是《神韵集》的变异版本或至少有部分诗歌为王士禛所选。事实上,通过当时的原始文献以及该选选诗内容、特点、数量等方面的考析可知,王士禛所选《神韵集》的所有版本均已佚失,《唐人七律神韵集》应为伪托之书,该书并非王士禛所选,乃为清人汪棣所选之唐诗,汪棣鉴于士禛极高的学术地位与声望,而伪托王士禛所选以扩大文学声势,达到宣扬自己诗学主张的目的。

Selected Works of Romantic Charm , an anthology of poetry of the Tang Dynasty, is compiled by the Qing literary giant Wang Shizhen. The library of Jiangxi province houses the early Qing - dynasty version of Anthology of Seven - word Metrical Poetry in the Tang Dynasty with the signature ＂Selected by Wang Shizhen＂. This version has been generally accepted as a varied version of Selected Works of Romantic Charm, or at least a version containing some of the poems selected by Wang Shizhen. In actuality, after a dose examination of the original documents and the content, characteristic, number of the poems chosen, we can find that all the versions of Wang＇ s Selected Works of Romantic Charm are already lost. It follows that Anthology of Seven - word Metrical Poetry in the Tang Dynastyis a fake one, for it wasselected by Wang Li, another scholar of the Qing dynasty. Grounded upon Wang Shizhen＇ s high academic position and prestige, Wang Li simulated it in the name of the former in order to gather his own literary momentum and advocate his own poetic ideology.
