朝鲜时期《红楼梦》的流传状况

Circulation of A Dream of Red Mansions in Li Dynasty of Korea

《红楼梦》于李朝后期传入朝鲜,传入时间主要有1800年前后与1858年两种说法,其中前一种说法较为可取。“乐善斋译本”《红楼梦》为已知最早出现的朝鲜语全译本,也是全世界最早的全译本,是由李钟泰等几十位王室译官集体翻译而成的。朝鲜李朝时期《红楼梦》的主要读者群体为上层妇女。总体来说,这一时期《红楼梦》在朝鲜半岛的普及程度并不算很高,而且人们对它的评价还存在着一定的分歧。李朝时期《红楼梦》在朝鲜半岛的流传受到一定的“冷遇”,这与朝鲜传统观念、翻译译本的问题以及中朝两国之间的文化差异等有密切关系。
