《亘史》与“两拍”——“两拍”蓝本考之一

A Textual Research on the Chief Source of "Liangpai"——On the Relations between Pan Zhi-heng's Genshi and Ling Meng-chu's "Liangpai

潘之恒的《亘史》是凌初白话小说集“两拍”的主要蓝本之一。明天启七年 (1 62 6)冬 ,凌初因参与选评《鸾啸小品》而接触了潘之恒的全部遗稿 ,获得《亘史》原本已有但汇刻时未曾缀入的“谭部”与已曾刊行的“侠部”、“艳部”及“外篇”中的部分篇目 ,并于该年冬以其为基础编成白话小说 ,收入《拍案惊奇》 ;数年后 ,又利用余下的资料编成部分作品 ,收入《二刻拍案惊奇》。在现存世刊刻最早而卷帙不及原书十分之一的明天启六年鸾啸轩汇刻本《亘史》中 ,我们仍能发现一些作品被“两拍”用作蓝本的证据。

The chief source of Ling Meng-chu's 'Liangpai' is Genshi written by Pan Zhi-heng. Ling Meng-chu got all the posthumous manuscript by Pan Zhi-heng in the winter of the 7 th year of Tianqi(1626) of the Ming Dynasty when he had a hand in selecting and commentating on Pan's Luanxiao Xiaopin. He obtained both unprinted section of 'Tan' and printed sections of 'Xia','Yan', and 'Wai' from Genshi based on which he compiled a collection of vernacular short stories entitled Paian Jingqi. A few years later, he made use of the remaining materials of Genshi to compile Erke Paian Jingqi, the sequel of Paian Jingqi. Even in the earliest extant edition of Genshi , which included only one-tenth of the volume of the original work and block-printed in Luanxiaoxuan in the sixth year of Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty, we can still find a lot of evidence indicating that Genshi is the chief source of 'Liangpai'.
