《元曲选》和《元刊杂剧三十种》对比研究——主论两者戏曲来源的差异

A Comparative Study on Selected Yuan Dramas and Thirty Kinds of Yuan Dramas—On the Differences in the Origin of Drama

近世学者多认为臧晋叔《元曲选》因遭到作者大幅删改已不复元曲原貌,故而不能作为元曲研究的底本参考。宇文所安所著的《剑桥中国文学史》中也明确指出只有《元刊杂剧三十种》的版本可信,直接否定了明代编选的版本。将两种版本加以对比,认为两者的差别应当是搜集编选来源不同,并不存在作者增删的问题。前者当出自御戏监的内府本,而后者当出自民间演出的舞台底本。

Modern scholars believe that Zang Jinshu＇s Selected Yuan Dramas cannot serve as a reference to the study on Yuan dramas because of the great modification and deletion by the author. S. Owen＇s The Cambridge History of Chinese Literature also states clearly that Thirty Kinds of Yuan Dramas is the only reliable version, directly denying the version compiled in the Ming Dynasty. The present paper makes a comparative study on the two versions and concludes that the difference between them lies in the origin of drama and there is no matter of the addition or deletion by the author. Selected Yuan Dramas originates from the Royal Theater of the imperial palace,while Thirty Kinds of Yuan Dramas originates from the stage text of folk performance.
