游戏主人《笑林广记》出版时间订误

The Correction of the Publication Date of Xiao Lin Guang Ji by Youxi Zhuren

清代游戏主人纂辑的《笑林广记》是中国历史上最具影响力的笑话书之一。但因国内书目失载、史料缺失,学者们大多依据日本现存最早的版本,判定其最早出版于清乾隆年间,这一认识几乎成为学界共识。笔者依据日本江户时代书目文献《舶载书目》中对《新镌笑林广记》的著录,论证和判断得出《笑林广记》的出版时间大约在清康熙年间,最晚不迟于清雍正三年。

Xiao Lin Guang Ji is one of the most influential joke books in Chinese history,compiled by Youxi Zhuren in the Qing Dynasty.However,due to the loss of the domestic bibliography and the lack of historical materials,most scholars have judged that it was first published in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty based on the earliest existing edition in Japan.This understanding has almost become a consensus in academic circles.Based on the description of Xin Juan Xiao Lin Guang Ji in the bibliographic document Bo Zai Shu Mu in the Edo era in Japan,the author demonstrates and judges that the publication time of Xiao Lin Guang Ji is about the period of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty,and no later than the third year of Yongzheng period in the Qing Dynasty.
