关于《西游补》的几个问题

On Questions of Supplement to Journey to the West

明刊本《西游补》署名"静啸斋主人",静啸斋是董斯张的室名别号,《西游补》的作者当为董斯张。有学者认为,董斯张卒后,其斋归董说所有,董说亦可号"静啸斋主人"。事实上,董氏卒后,从董说到清末,南浔人一直将静啸斋视为董斯张的室名别号。《西游补》最早刻本有嶷如居士序,作于"辛巳中秋",即明崇祯十四年(1641年)。《西游补》的最后成书在崇祯十三年(1640年)。清末一些文人在没有看到明崇祯刻本的情况下,想当然地认为《西游补》是董说在清初创作的。有学者用索隐的方法将《西游补》中的人物和情节比附南明清初的人物和事件,来证明《西游补》作于明清鼎革之后。这些随意的比附,没有文献材料的支持。作者将该书命名为《西游补》,并在书名下方注明"入三调芭蕉扇后",依作者之意,应该叫补书。作为《西游记》的补书,显然受《西游记》三调芭蕉扇故事影响。《西游记》中孙悟空借芭蕉扇和《西游补》中孙悟空寻找驱山铎都是故事的主要线索。不同的是,《西游补》作者关注的重点是孙悟空在寻找驱山铎过程中所遇到的人物和事件,并借以表达作者对历史和现实的认识。

Supplement to Journey to the West published in the Ming dynasty （1368-1644） was written by Master of Jingsu Studio who was actually Dong Si - zhang, but some scholars in the late Qing dynasty thought that it was written by Dong Shuo, and it is wrong. In fact, this book was not published after the Qing dynasty was founded, but in 1641. These scholars did not see the original book. As a supplement to Journey to the West, it was evidently influenced by the story of borrowing palm leaf fan three times. Dif- ferent from Journey to the West, the supplement focuses on the persons and events that Sun Wu - kong meets and encounters in his looking for a precious object, which the author used to express his opinion of history and reality.
