一部破坏曹雪芹《红楼梦》艺术结构的校本——读《周汝昌校订批点本石头记》札记之三

A Third Research On ZHOU Ru-chang's Recension of "Stone Tale"

周汝昌平生所有涉及《红楼梦》的文字,无不是为了证明他的新索隐派龙门红学观"史湘云就是曹雪芹的妻子脂砚斋"、他的"一百零八回大对称结构"的正确而忙。为此,他不惜破坏《红楼梦》八十回作品的完整艺术结构,认为从第六十四回至第六十九回不是曹雪芹的原稿,是《红楼梦》的一个大补丁。最为严重的是他在《周汝昌校订批点本石头记》中竟然把第六十七回、第七十九回和第八十回用楷体字体排印,以示与宋体字排印的原作的区别,从而将其从曹雪芹著作中清除出去。

All the researches and comments Mr. ZHOU Ru-chang has made in his life on the masterpiece A Dream of Red Mansions are to prove the viewpoint that the school of searching for hidden meanings has provided such as ＂SHI Xiang-yun is CAO Xue-qin＇ s wife called Zhiyanzhai＂ and so on. To achieve this aim, Zhou didn＇ t stint any sacrifice of the perfect artistic structure of the first eighty chapters of the masterpiece and declared that the chapters from sixty-four to sixty-nine were not written by CAO Xue-qin but a big patch made by others. The most serious is that ZHOU, in his book ZHOU Ru-chang＇ s Recension of ＂Stone Tale＂ , used regular script of handwriting for Chapters Sixty-seven, Seventy-nine and Eighty to distinguish from the Song typeface in the other chapters, which means that he had cleaned these chapters out from CAO Xue-qin＇ s masterpiece.
