关于蒲松龄生年的两种错误及其辨正

Two Errors of Pu Songling's Year of Birth and Their Correction

在聊斋学研究过程中,蒲松龄的生年曾出现过1622年和1630年两种错误,1622年的错误见于阿理克院士的聊斋小说选译本和陈铨的《中德文学研究》,从错误来源看,可能来自德文资料;1630年的错误来自于1920年3月天宝书局印刷、中华图书馆发行的石印本《聊斋全集》,其中有蒲松龄"享年八十有六"的错误,这一错误影响了鲁迅先生,他在《中国小说史略》中曾引用此说。胡适曾撰写《蒲松龄的生年考》一文,详细考证了蒲松龄的准确出生年份。但直到20世纪80年代,国内仍有人因袭石印本《聊斋全集》中蒲松龄生年的错误,而在俄罗斯汉学界,蒲松龄生年的错误直到1970年才由阿理克的学生艾德林改正。陈铨书中的错误直到1997年《中德文学研究》再版时才得以更正。
