《〈西游记〉非吴承恩作别解》商榷

A Discussion on A New Explanation of"Journey to the West"is not Written by Wu Chengen

《〈西游记〉非吴承恩作别解》一文,从吴承恩的父亲吴锐入赘问题入手,论证《西游记》非吴承恩所作,别具新意,但亦多有可商榷之处。从相关文献看来,赘婿有的受歧视,有的不受歧视,甚至还有的被人艳羡。古代小说戏曲中,固然有些作品表达了对赘婿的歧视,但也有不少作品将赘婿作为正面形象加以歌颂。吴锐入赘的被歧视程度应该很低,甚至并不存在所谓的歧视,更非“儿子吴承恩的心中之痛”。《西游记》并非“对于招女婿是一有机会就要揶揄、调侃、讥笑乃至挖苦”。因此,父亲吴锐的赘婿身份,并不能证明《西游记》非吴承恩所作。猪八戒的首任妻子是“卯二姐”而非“卵二姐”。人文本《西游记》的“附录”是清初汪象旭所作,不能用来论证明代吴承恩的思想和价值观。

In the article A New Explanation of"Journey to the West"is not Written by Wu Chengen,starting from the problem of WU Rui,the father of Wu Cheng en,the author demonstrates that Journey to the West is not written by Wu Cheng en,which has its own new ideas,but there are also many points for discussion.According to the relevant literature,son-in-law is discriminated against,some are not,and some are even envied.In ancient novels and operas,they are also appreciated as a positive image,and seldom expresses ridicule and discrimination.The degree of discrimination against Wu Rui should be very low,or even there is no so-called discrimination,let alone"the pain in the heart of my son Wu Cheng en".Journey to the West does not mean that"whenever there is an opportunity to tease,ridicule,ridicule or even mock a son-in-law".Therefore,the son-in-law status of his father,Wu Rui,does not prove that Journey to the West was not written by Wu Cheng en.Zhu Bajie s first wife was"Mao Er Jie",not"Luan Er Jie".The human text"Appendix"was written by Wang Xiangxu in the early Qing Dynasty and cannot be used to demonstrate the thoughts and values of Wu Cheng en in the Ming Dynasty.
