唐顺之制义文集版本述考

Study on the version of collected works ofstereotyped writings by TANG Shunzhi

唐顺之是明代“八股文四大家”之一。他“以古文为时文”改造八股文,开创八股制义文创作的新局面。其制义文集自明末问世,代有传稿,历经清代、民国多次翻刻刊印,形成三个版本系统六种互异版本,依次是:陈名夏本、吕葆中本、俞康本、俞乾本、无锡唐氏本、唐玉虬本。其中,吕葆中本相对最为精良,可筛选确定为底本,其他五个版本可作校本。

TANG Shunzhi is one of“the four masters of Stereotyped Writing”in Ming Dynasty.He reformed Stereotyped Writing by imitating Ancient-Style Prose and broke new ground in the creation of stereotyped writings.His collected works of stereotyped writings came out in late Ming Dynasty and the draft has passed down one generation after one generation.It has undergone block reprinting many times in Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China,and thus has formed three edition systems consisting of six different versions,that is,Chen Mingxia’s version,Lu Baozhong’s version,Yu Kang’s version,Yu Qian’s version,Wuxi Tang’s version,Tang Yuqiu’s version.Among the six versions,Lu Baozhong’s version is relatively the finest,thus being picked out as the master copy,and other five versions are taken as checked copies.
