鲁迅《金瓶梅》研究的成就与失误

The Achievements and Defects of Luxun's Study of The Golden Lotus

鲁迅站在中国小说发展史的高度,用近代小说观念,将《金瓶梅》准确定位为"世情书",具有开创性意义。他运用社会的历史的观点,对《金瓶梅》性描写的成因问题,作了开拓性研究,但对性描写本身的评价,则有失于平庸。他将《金瓶梅》早已把"传统的思想和写法都打破了"的"打破权",归之于《红楼梦》,有失公允。他对《金瓶梅》初刻本问世年代的认定是错误的。他仅用书中的"山东土白"四字,对《金瓶梅》作者"决非"是"南方人"的判断,则有失于武断。

From the standpoint of Chinese fiction development with the concepts of modern novel, Luxun defined The Golden Lotus as an earthly work, which is ground-breaking. With the view of society and his-tory, Luxun did a pioneering research on the reason of sex description in The Golden Lotus, but his com-ments on the sex description is mediocre. Luxun attributed the breaking traditional ideas and writing style in The Golden Lotus to A Dream of Red Mansions, which is partial. Luxun＇ s judgment of the time of its first version is proved wrong, and his judgment of its author is indiscreet.
