新见明清古典短篇小说《鸳鸯针》作者吴拱宸资料及相关问题考证

A Textual Research into the newly Discovered Materials about the Author of the Classical Short Story Yuanyang Zhen in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Relevant Issues

题华阳散人编辑的四回本古典短篇小说《鸳鸯针》,因其稀见,又因小说真实地反映了明末社会中下阶层生活,被研究者所重视。华阳散人被学界认为是明末镇江举人吴拱宸,几十年来吴拱宸资料一直没有新发现。在馆藏文物中,发现了两件吴拱宸的书法作品,虽然是碑刻和拓片,但真实性没有疑问,其内容对吴拱宸研究亦有所裨益。

Researchers have always attached importance to the four-chapter classical short story Yuanyang Zhen written by Huayang Sanren, because it is rare and reflects the real life of the middle and lower class of the late Ming Dynasty. In academic circle, Huayang Sanren is thought to be the provincial grad- uate Wu Gongchen in Zhen Jiang in the late Ming Dynasty. For decades, there were not any new findings of materials about Wu. The author came across two pieces of his calligraphic work among the cultural relics in the museum. Though they are inscriptions and rubbings, there aren＇t any doubts about their au- thenticity, and the words on them are also beneficial to the study on Wu Gongchen.
