《徐文长文集》与《徐文长三集》的读者之争及其版本问题

The Sales Competition of Xu Wei's Two Works and Its Impact upon Their Eidtion Alterations

本文通过考察《文集》与《三集》在万历后期的读者之争,得出了关于其版本关系及版本优劣的以下几个结论:1. 二集在万历后期的读者之争中形成了互动的版本关系。2. 钟氏《文集》最终压倒《三集》而成为最流行的版本,靠的不只是袁评,还有许多诸如定位得当等方面的自身优势。3.《文集》袁评是否出于伪托,目前尚无有力的证据,当以存疑为是。4. 商氏《三集》忽视市场因素,定位失当,其在与《文集》的读者之争中一败再败,有其自身原因,大可不必迁怒《文集》。5.万历 47 年修改重印 25 卷本非残本,乃是商氏有意推出的两个“新”版本之一。

Five conclusions about the edition alterations of Xu Wei's two works can be drawn from the review of their sales competition: Firstly, Interactions existed between the sales competition and the two works' edition alterations. Secondly,Xu Wei's Works had been more popular not only because of the so- called 'Yuan Comments' but also because of its own merits. Thirdly, There is no enough ground to deny the authenticity of 'Yuan Comments' up to now. Fourthly,Xu Wei's Three Workshad been less popular mainly because of its own limitations. Finally,25-volume Xu Wei's Three Worksreprinted in the 47th year of Wanli Period was deliberately made so to attract readers rather than just remains of any edition.
