“未加评点”释——兼议“程前脂后”说

Explanation of"Having not put on commentaries and notes" ──Comment on the view that the Cheng's Edition is earlier than the Zhi's Edition

从“未加评点”出现的语境和程甲本中还残留着脂批文字等事实看 ,“未加评点”应释为“没有把评点文字加上” ,不能释为“没有加以评点”。由此可见 ,脂本在前 ,程本在后 ;脂本为真 ,并非伪造 ,“程前脂后”说是不正确的。

According to the context of 'Having not put on commentaries and notes' and the few remaining words of Zhi's Criticism in the novel in the first Cheng's Edition , the meaning of 'Having not put on commentaries and notes' should be understood as'Having not added the commentaries and punctuations' instead of 'Having not prepared commentaries and punctuations'. Consequently, the Zhi's Edition should be earlier than the Cheng's Edition, and it is not a fakement. The view that the Cheng's Edition is earlier than the Zhi's Edition is wrong.
