《金瓶梅词话》校释商补三则

Three Supplementary Notes of Augmentation on the Collation and Interpretation of Jin Ping Mei Ci Hua

《金瓶梅词话》第一回中“泼天閧”实为“泼天関”之形讹,“関”为衍文“关”之异体;“天关”谓天之关键机件,喻指北斗星,非谓天门。“泼天”及“拨天关”习见于元明戏曲文献中,语义相关而理据迥异,即前者多喻财产丰厚而后者常指本领高强。第十一回“新梁兴”正作“新兴”,“梁”为衍文。以“新梁”为是或破读“梁”为他字均属忽视版本异文的做法。通过异文比较及文意的系联,可知第一回中形容武松仪表的“搊搜”实则表示拘束、收敛,似非英武勇悍。

Firstly,the term po tian hong in the first chapter of Jin Ping Mei Ci Hua(Commentary on Golden Lotus)is actually a misrepresentation of po tian guan.Tian guan refers to a crucial mechanism of the heaven,symbolizing the North Star,rather than a heavenly gate.The phrases po tian and bo tian guan,frequently appear in the drama literature of dynasties from Yuan and Ming,sharing semantic relevance but differing in their lexical motivation.The former often connotes wealth,while the latter typically denotes exceptional skill.Secondly,the term xin liang xing in the eleventh chapter is incorrectly rendered and should be xin xing,with liang being interpolation.The variant textual traditions is disregard which results from both treating xin liang as correct or misreading liang as another zi character.Thirdly,through a comparison of these variants and their contextual associations,it becomes evident that the description of WU Song’s appearance as chou sou in the first chapter actually conveys a sense of constraint and restraint,rather than bravery or heroism.
