Editor's Note A Dream of Red Mansions is a masterpiece written by Cao Xueqin and the only work in his life. However, A Dream of Red Mansions has not only been circulated for more than 200 years, but also a Dream of Red Mansions, which specializes in it, and a big branch of the research field of A Dream of Red Mansions-the version of A Dream of Red Mansions.
The version of A Dream of Red Mansions was gradually formed during the spread of A Dream of Red Mansions, and it was divided into two parts: codex and engraving. The new series A Dream of Red Mansions, which is being broadcasted by Beijing Satellite TV, can be said to be shot according to 120 popular versions of the notes proofread by the Dream of Red Mansions Institute. Compared with the old version of A Dream of Red Mansions directed by 1987 Wang Fulin, the biggest difference between the new version and the old version is 80 years later-the plot of the old version of A Dream of Red Mansions after 80 years was shot according to the lost result of A Dream of Red Mansions. The different versions of the two shots involve a big branch of the research field of A Dream of Red Mansions: the version of A Dream of Red Mansions.
About transcripts
The original work of A Dream of Red Mansions, or The Story of the Stone, is circulated in the small circle around the author in the form of a manuscript. In the middle and late Qing Dynasty (about 1754- 1790), there are roughly a dozen manuscripts that have been circulated so far:
Jiaxuben-now in Shanghai Museum.
Xu Jiayou had sixteen times (1-8 times, 13- 16 times, 25-28 times). Because there is a word "Re-comment on JOE in Zhi Yan Zhai" in the first text, the academic circles call it "15". JOE was the 19th year of Qing dynasty (1754). Although the book has sixteen chapters, there are a lot of annotations signed by Zhi Yanzhai and others, which record or reveal the special intimate relationship between the approver and the author, as well as the writing background, additions, deletions and modifications of the book, and even reveal the important information that Cao Xueqin died at noon on New Year's Eve, so it has been highly valued by the academic community. Jiaxu was originally collected by Liu Quanfu, a Daxing bibliophile in the same year of Qing and Xian. Hu Shi got it in Shanghai on 1927, and then went across the ocean with Hu, and kept it in the Cornell University library in the United States. It was not until 2005 that he first returned to the Shanghai Museum.
Self-published edition-National Library and National Museum.
There are forty-one times and two and a half times in the bazaar edition. After the general title of 3 1-40, there are words such as "Zhi Yan Zhai reads and comments every four times" and "The bazaar is finalized in winter and month", so it is called. "Bazaar" is the twenty-four years of Qianlong (1759), which should be the calendar year of this manuscript, and the existing manuscript is over-recorded. In this over-recorded book, there are more than 700 double-line comments in small print. According to the taboo of "Xiang" and "Xiao" in the book, the textual research confirmed that the book was "Prince Yi Yunxiang and Zhai Copy" by comparing with "Yi Zhai Bibliography". It is related to "you (that is, Xue Qin's father or uncle) were entrusted to Prince Yi by Brigadier General Yu in the second year of Yongzheng". Trade editions of 1-20, 3 1-40, 6 1-70 (64 and 67 copied by later generations) were originally collected by Dong Kang and Tao Zhu and are now in the National Library. From the second half of 1955 to the first half of 1959, it is now in the National Museum of Tibet.
Geng Chenben-Now Collected in Peking University Library
Chen Geng's book has seventy-eight chapters (1-80 chapters, sixty-four chapters and sixty-seven chapters are missing). After chapter 4 1 of this book, the words "Chen Geng Autumn (Month) Edition" are engraved on the four general catalogue pages, so it is commonly known as "Chen Geng Book". This edition also has the same double-line small print batch as the bazaar edition, a large number of inter-line batch and eyebrow batch. The parting notes in this part are the same as those in Bazaar, but the inscriptions, missing words, tips for copying and even some taboos such as the word "Xiang" are also the same as those in Bazaar, which shows the special close relationship between the two books and gives us a glimpse of Bazaar. This comment on writing is informative and valuable. People's Literature Publishing House published the first edition 1982. Up to now, A Dream of Red Mansions has printed more than 4 million copies, the first 80 of which are based on Chen Geng (the last 40 are based on Cheng Jia). Geng Chenben (1933) was purchased from Long Fu Temple by Badayang of Xu Xing Department. After that, yenching university Library bought it for 200 taels of gold, which is now treasured by Peking University Library.
Qi Xu Ben is now collected in Shanghai Library, Nanjing Library and National Library respectively.
The preface to Qi, which lasts for eighty times, is the abbreviation of the preface to the birth of Qi. According to legend, Qianlong Jinshi celebrated the beginning of the birth of Qi. Among the existing fat books, there are neat preface books, including: Zhang Kaimo's Lao Qi Xu Shu (Qi), Ze Cun's Lao Qi Xu Shu (Qi Ning Ben) and Zhengshu's lithograph Qi Xu Shu (with the original attached). In addition, The Old Collection of Qing Palace (Wang Fu Edition) has no preface, because its writing system and copying lines are basically the same as those of Qi edition, so these books constitute a special branch. Among them, Qi Zhangben was named after Zhang Kaimo's Collection, which was later owned by Di Ping Zi of Zhengshu Publishing House. The Land in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China is based on lithographs, so it is an original work. Qi reappeared in Shanghai in the winter of 1975, and is now in Shanghai Library. The original text is based on Qi, partially supplemented by Di's comment on writing, and the text is slightly modified. Qi Ningben was collected by Nanjing Zecun Library in the 1940s, and now it is in Nanjing Library, hence its name. Qi Ningben and Qi Zhangben are copied together; (Wang Fuben) Originally saved 74 times (1-80 times, lacking 57-62 times), and later copied the last 40 times according to the block print, and also copied the order of missing 6 times and Cheng Weiyuan in the block print, and now there are 120 times. According to the words "Wang Ye, the Seventh Master" approved by 7 1, it is inferred that this book is an old collection of a palace in the Qing Dynasty and was collected in the National Library today 196 1.
Yang Cangben-currently works in the Institute of Literature, China Academy of Social Sciences.
Yang's 120-page anthology is the abbreviation of "Old Collection", also known as "Dream of Red Mansions Manuscript", which was named "Dream of Red Mansions Manuscript" because of the source title of Xianfeng years. The title of this book is A Dream of Red Mansions. At the end of Chapter 78, the words "Lan Shu has read" were written by Gao E, so they are called Gao E's supplementary manuscript of A Dream of Red Mansions. Although this statement can't be confirmed, this book may have something to do with Cheng and Gao Keben. This book (1959) appeared in Beijing and was purchased by the Institute of Literature of China Academy of Social Sciences.
Chen Jia Ben-now in the National Library.
There are eighty volumes of Chen Jia, which is named after the preface to dreams written by Qianlong Chen Jia, also known as "dream book". The title of this book is also A Dream of Red Mansions, with little criticism and simple words, which are basically inherited by Cheng Jiaben, so this book should be the main transcript of the first eighty chapters of Cheng Jiaben. This book (1953) appeared in Shanxi and is now in the National Library.
Collector's edition-now in the St. Petersburg branch of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
There are seventy-eight chapters (1-80 chapters, with five or six chapters missing) in the listed books, which are named after being kept in Leningrad Institute of Oriental Studies in the former Soviet Union. The text is roughly the same as other manuscripts. About the description of Lin Daiyu's eyebrows, this book is unique: "Two bends are like frowning, a pair is like weeping, not weeping, showing eyes". This book has about 300 comments. Eyebrow notes and interlinear notes were added by later generations, and double-line fine print notes were found in Chen Geng's manuscripts. Both text and notes can be used to proofread other books. This book was introduced into Russia in the 12th year of Daoguang reign (1832).
Your own copy-now in the capital library.
There are 40 existing Ji You, which were originally collected and later donated to Shu Preface of the Capital Library. This preface was written in Ji You (1789) during the Qianlong period, also known as Ji You.
Zheng Cang Ben, now in the National Library.
Only two volumes (23 and 24) of Zheng's collection were collected by Zheng Zhenduo and donated to the National Library.
Biancang Ben-Mr. Bian Wenyi kept it himself.
"Bian Ji" contains the first ten texts and 33-80 replies, which was taken by the collector Bian in 2006 at a price of198,000 yuan.
About sculpture
The engraving of A Dream of Red Mansions began in the fifty-sixth year of Qing Qianlong (179 1), which is of epoch-making significance in the communication history of A Dream of Red Mansions. Twenty-eight years after Cao Xueqin's death, Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E tried their best to collect the first eighty chapters and dozens of lost manuscripts left by Zuo Zongtang, and finally "unity is strength" in A Dream of Red Mansions. This year, 179 1, the movable type printed version of A Dream of Red Mansions (later called Cheng Jiaben) began to spread, and later Cheng and Gao 1792 launched the school-based Dream of Red Mansions (later called Cheng Yiben). Cheng and Gao Ben pioneered the block printing of A Dream of Red Mansions and became the source of all prints in the market for more than 200 years. Later editions, including Bai Wen and annotation editions, such as Dongguan Pavilion Edition, Benya Collection Edition, Jieben, Louben, Sanrang, Uyghur, Tang Ben, Miaofuxuan Edition, and The Story of the Stone, are all works of Cheng. The appearance of Cheng Jiaben is the beginning of the widespread spread of A Dream of Red Mansions. From today's perspective, Cheng Hegao's achievements cannot be overestimated.
Although there are still people who don't like the last forty chapters of Cheng and Gao today, A Dream of Red Mansions, which ended in the 1980s, is incomplete after all. Cheng Hegao was a little later than Cao Xueqin, and they were close to their contemporaries in observation angle, way of thinking and language habits. We even speculate that they may have published a complete version of A Dream of Red Mansions on the basis of some manuscripts of Cao Xueqin and compared with dozens of later versions. This is the reason why the last forty chapters of the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions are based on Cheng Jiaben.
