简本《西游记》诸版本关系新探——从版画比勘的角度

A New Analysis on the Relations Between Various Editions of the Abridged Journey to the West:From the Perspective of Comparing the Woodblock Editions

关于《西游记》简本系统中的阳至和本、朱鼎臣本与杨闽斋本之间的关系,迄今尚无定论。目今研究方法,多忽略了以版画证史的重要性。通过版画文字互文比勘,可以发现阳本、朱本与杨本之间的"基因相似性",三者间存在非常明确的摹仿承袭关系。

Up to now there has been no conclusion about the relations between the Yang Zhihe edition, the Zhu Dingchen edition and the Yang Minzhai edition of the abridges editions of Journey to the West. Most of the present research methods have neglected the significance of taking woodblocks as historical evidence. Through the comparison of words between different woodblock editions, it can be found that there is"genetic similarity"among the Yang Zhihe edition, the Zhu Dingchen edition and the Yang Minzhai edition. Obviously, all three of them have imitated and inherited with one another.
