关于“文待诏诸公听人说宋江”等问题再议——答王齐洲等先生

Again on the Emergernce Time of theHeroesoftheMarshes Answer to Prof WANG Qi-zhou

有确凿的史料证明"文待诏诸公"就是指文徵明、祝允明、唐寅、徐祯卿四人,他们"听人说宋江"只能在青年时期。他们是《水浒》研究绕不开的话题,以"等"代替"诸公",将"钱允治等"置换成是与文徵明一起"听人说宋江"的人,这是不能成立的。在文徵明的晚年没有出现可与祝、唐、徐相当的"诸公"。钱允治没有资历、水平、声望和机会能与文徵明共"听人说宋江"。引用钱希言的话不能将"先讲摊头半日"剔除在外。钱希言本意在于强调钱允治听到的是"摊头"而不是"宋江"。郎瑛与高儒记述的《宋江》(即《施耐庵的本》)、《忠义水浒传》在嘉靖之前即已问世。

Irrefutable historical evidences show that the problematic issue of the saying that QIAN Yunzhi and others should not be included in the group of talents who attended the storytelling about SONG Jiang（head of a gang of outlaws in Song Dynasty）;in fact,these talents only include WEN Zhengming,ZHU Yunming,TANG Ying and XU Zhenqing,who were able to attend it only in the youth.These people are the subject matter of the research of Heroes of the Marshes.The paper argues that the idea of including other people into this group does not hold at all.
