《大唐三藏取经诗话》成书年代考证综述

Review on completion date of Poetic Tale on Going Pilgrimage for Buddhist Scripture of Tang Sanzang

《大唐三藏取经诗话》刊印至今,围绕它成书年代的考证,一直未有断绝。目前它的学术价值已经得到了充分的肯定,而且学界还从版本学、语言学、词汇学等角度对其成书形成了五种不同的看法,即晚唐五代说、北宋说、南宋说、宋代说、元代说。虽然各种看法均有合理的部分,但不同方法间仍借鉴不足。新时期下,学界又进一步作了整体归纳,从文体上更加细致地辨别了《大唐三藏取经诗话》,更有助于对俗文学流变及西游故事脉络的分析认知。

Since the publication of Poetic Tale on Going Pilgrimage for Buddhist Scripture of Tang Sanzang （hereafter referred to as ＂Poetic Tale＂）, the date of completion has been in dispute. Until now, its academic value has been acknowledged. Some scholars put forward five views on the completion date from bibliology, linguistics and lexicology perspectives. Each view has reasonable evidence, but there is rarely mutual reference among different views. In the new period, some scholars make further study and distinguish ＂Poetic Tale＂ by literary form, which is beneficial to the analysis and cognition of folk literature and westward journey stories.
