《封神演义》作者陆西星新考

New Textual Research into LU Xixing the Author of Canonization of Gods

经过文献梳理和考证,发现了《封神演义》作者是陆西星的新证据:“陆压道人”就是指住在兴化“陆鸭村”旁的陆西星道人;《西游记》与《封神演义》出版时间相近,却有相同或相近的道家用语,且《西游记》中有多处借用《封神演义》人物、情节之处,是两书作者在创作过程中互相借鉴的证据,也为《封神演义》作者是陆西星提供了内证;兴化存有较多与《封神演义》有关的本土素材,为陆西星创作《封神演义》提供了外证。

The textual research has found the new evidence for LU Xixing as the author of Canonization of Gods.The Taoist priest LU Ya just referred to the Taoist priest LU Xixing living near the Luya village,Xinghua County.The publishing times of Journey to the West and Canonization of Gods were very close and they both have many same or similar Taoist terms.In addition,the former work has borrowed some figures and plots from the latter,which may be seen as the evidence of the two authors’mutual borrowing in their creation.This also serves as the in-texual proof for LU Xixing as the author of Canonization of Gods.Further,there are a lot of aboriginal materials concerning this novel which is the proof outside the text for LU as the author of this work.
