中国四大古典文学名著:成书之谜、主题思想、现实意义

The Four Classical Literary Masterpieces of China:Mysteries of Coming into Being,Main Ideas and Practical Significance

在中国四大古典文学名著中,《三国志通俗演义》由施耐庵撰写后三分之一,罗贯中撰写前三分之二,施耐庵动笔早于罗贯中;《水浒传》由施耐庵完成原始本,罗贯中形成修订本;《西游记》由罗贯中独自撰写,与吴承恩无关;《红楼梦》由冒辟疆完成原始本,曹雪芹形成修订本。《三国志通俗演义》主题思想在于记录汉族哀歌,《水浒传》主题思想在于谱写汉族凯歌,《西游记》主题思想在于高奏中国新歌,《红楼梦》主题思想在于默唱世界悲歌。研究中国四大古典文学名著,需要更精准地认识施耐庵、罗贯中、吴承恩、冒辟疆、曹雪芹的成就,从而更客观地确立他们的地位;需要将"明清小说"之提法充实为更完善的"元明清小说"之提法,从而打造出更完备的元明清文学之记载;需要促进文史等方面的更紧密结合,从而推动社会科学乃至整个科学事业的更稳健发展;需要更有效地坚定"四个自信",从而更充分地为实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦而奋斗。

The latter one third of the Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written by Shi Nai-an,the first two thirds of the novel was written by Luo Guan-zhong,but Shi Nai-an started writing earlier than Luo Guan-zhong.The original manuscript of Water Margin was written by Shi Nai-an,and it was revised by Luo Guan-zhong.Journey to the West was written by Luo Guan-zhong,and it had nothing to do with Wu Cheng-en.The original manuscript of a Dream of Red Mansions was written by Mao Bi-jiang,and it was revised by Cao Xue-qin.The gist of the Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms is to record the mournful dirge for the Han ethnic group.The gist of Water Margin is to compose the song of triumph for the Han ethnic group.The gist of Journey to the West is to play new music for China.The gist of a Dream of Red Mansions is to sing sad melody for the world.On the basis of reading the four classical literary masterpieces of China,the Chinese people need to gain a clear idea of the achievements of Shi Nai-an,Luo Guan-zhong,Wu Cheng-en,Mao Bi-jiang and Cao Xue-qin to affirm their status more objectively,need to change a kind of formulation from ＂the novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties＂ to ＂the novels of the Yuan,Ming and Qing dynasties＂ to form a better account of the literature of the Yuan,Ming and Qing dynasties,need to promote the integration of literature and history to lead to more vigorous development of social sciences and even the whole scientific cause,need to strengthen their confidence in the path,theory,system and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics to work tirelessly to realize the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation.
