从康乾以前文献碑记再谈“曹雪芹关外祖籍”之“沈阳说”——兼对“辽阳说”和“铁岭说”的辨析

Review on Cao Xueqin's Ancestral Home Shenyang Based on the Literature and Inscriptions Before Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong's Time——A Concurrent Analysis of Two Other Views

关于曹雪芹的祖籍问题,是曹雪芹家世研究中的一个内容,也是历年"红学"研究中颇有争议的问题之一。特别是近年来,"曹雪芹关外祖籍"的"辽阳说"和"铁岭说"逐渐占据上风,虽旁征博引,但在结论的分析和把握上尚有可商榷之处。文章以在辽阳发现的康乾以前的《大金喇嘛法师宝记》《重建玉皇庙碑记》等碑记以及有关文献资料,则对曹雪芹"祖籍沈阳说"提供了可信补证,因此对"著籍襄平、世居沈阳"的记载的正确理解也明确地得出结论:"襄平"代指"辽东郡"的泛称,"沈阳"即是"沈阳中卫",这是对曹雪芹五世祖曹振彦居住地的确释。

Cao Xueqin＇s ancestral home is a topic of the study on Cao Xueqin＇s family history and one of the disputes inthe research on A Dream of Red mansions. In recent years, the view that Cao Xueqin＇s ancestral home is in Liaoyang or Tielinghas prevailed. With vast evidences and references, the conclusion is still disputable. The discovery of some solid literature andinscriptions before Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong＇s time in Liaoyang provides further proves that Cao Xueqin＇s ancestral homeis in Shenyang. According to the entry that ＂His ancestral home is Xiangping and his family lives in Shenyang for generations＂,it＇s safe to conclude that Xiangping refers to Liaodong County and that Shenyang is the present Shenyang, which is the exact living place of Cao Zhenyan, Cao Xueqin＇s great-grandfather.
