《红楼梦》著作权问题的“假设”当适可而止——与赵建忠《“家族累积说”:红楼梦作者的新命题》商榷

“Hypothesis”of Who Is the Author of Hongloumeng Should Be Left Alone for the Time Being——Discussed with Zhao Jian- zhong,Author of Family Accumulation:New Saying of Who Is the Author of Hongloumeng

《红楼梦》著作权问题历来是红学研究的热点之一。围绕作者到底是谁,学术界主要有两种倾向:一种认为是与曹家无关的人所著,如纳兰容若、冒辟疆、洪昇等,还有人认为是无名氏所作;另一种认为是曹家子弟所著,支持曹雪芹的居多,近几年还有提出曹兆页说。随着"曹学"的发展,赵建忠提出结合"曹学"成就的"家族累积说"新命题。新命题建议学术界关注李玺家族的研究,认为《红楼梦》是曹家几代人集体智慧的结晶,曹雪芹是最后的完成者。这一新命题的优点是扩大了学术研究的视野,弊端是缺乏足够的材料和逻辑论证,并不能有效解决《红楼梦》研究的历史遗留难题。鉴于当前学术界的研究能力,尚不能支持新学说的提出。为此,《红楼梦》著作权问题应暂时搁置,这并无碍于《红楼梦》的艺术研究与读者接受。

There are two opinions of who is the author of Hongloumeng. One is that Nalan Rongruo, or Mao Pi -jiang, or Hong Sheng or some unknown person is the author, and the other is that Cao Xueqin is the author, which is supported by many scholars. Now Zhao Jian -zhong thinks that Hongloumeng is finished by Cao Xue - qin on the basis of his family accumulation. This opinion expands the academic vision, but materials are not supported enough and logic proof is poor. And the problem of who is the au- thor of Hongloumeng still remains. Now we can leave this problem alone, because this does not stop aca- demic researches and reading.
