I. Jiaxuben
Re-evaluation of The Story of the Stone by Zhi Yanzhai, written in 1754, is the earliest version found so far, with 16 articles (1-8; 13- 16; 25-28 times). This book is in Shanghai Museum. This version has "examples". In addition, for the first time, there were 429 more words than other fat books.
Jia Xuben gave the specific time of Cao Xueqin's death. "On New Year's Eve, before the book was finished, Qin died in tears." It is clear that he died on New Year's Eve in Renwu. There is another truth about Qin Keqing's death. At the end of the thirteenth session, someone criticized "Qin Keqing lost her sweet house …" and explained the reasons and process of this change.
JOE is recognized by the Red Circle as the most valuable manuscript and most in line with Cao Xueqin's original intention. This is extremely valuable. Anyone who studies the Red Chamber regards JOE as the Bible.
Second, Geng Chenben
Re-evaluation of The Story of the Stone by Zhi Yanzhai, written by Chen Geng in 1759, shows that * * * is the most complete fat book in existence. However, after the 60th edition of Chen Geng Edition, the level of copywriting was mixed, with many mistakes and omissions serialized, which was criticized by many readers and experts. "Geng", written long ago, is a trustworthy version of the fat book, which has a very important position and value.
Third, your own book.
Zhi Yanzhai reevaluates The Story of the Stone, 4 1 cycle (1-24; 3 1-40; 6 1-70 cycles) and the second half of 55 and the first half of 59. Now it is in Beijing Library. Yi Mao avoided the words "Xiang" and "Xiao", that is, avoided the names of Prince Yun Xiang and Prince Yi. There is indeed a "stone story" in the title of Shaw. Basically, it can be proved that Bazaar is a copy of Qin Yi Wang Fu.
Fourth, Qi Xu Ben.
Re-evaluation of the Stone Story by Zhi Yanzhai is the preface of Qi's life. Qi Xu is of great value and is recognized as an important document for studying classical novels in academic circles.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) Wangfuben
It is now in the Beijing Library, and the book has the words "Ye Qi Wang Ye", so it is called Wang Mi's book. Wang Fu has 120 chapters, prefaced by Cheng Weiyuan and inscribed with the word "stone". The last forty chapters are recorded from textbooks, and there are obvious handwriting differences between the last forty chapters and the first eighty chapters. Wang Fuben is closely related to Cheng Weiyuan and Cheng Ben, which is understandable.
Besides Zhi Yanzhai's comment on writing, Wang Fu has many comments from later generations.
Six, the dream manuscript
This book collected by Yang is called A Dream of Red Mansions, not The Story of the Stone. Now it is collected in the Institute of Literature, China Academy of Social Sciences. Because it was once considered as a manuscript supplemented by Gao E, it was named Dream Manuscript. After textual research, this book is inconsistent with Cheng Shu, so this judgment is wrong. The dream manuscript should be pieced together. Cheng Yi copied it back in the last 40 times, but there are many deletions, which may be caused by plagiarism.
Seven, collection.
That is, there are 78 editions of the manuscript "The Story of the Stone" collected in Leningrad, and the fifth and sixth editions are missing.
Eight, Cang Jing Ben
The full name is "Elite Valley Collection". At the end of 13, the comment on writing, "Qin Keqing observed a moment of silence for Tianxianglou ...", was signed as abnormal. From the comment on writing in Chapter 22, "In a few years, all the scholars in the Western Qin Dynasty, Zhi Yan and Xing Zhai could not leave one after another", which comes from the scripture and is extremely important. Clarified that Zhi Yanzhai and Cao Xueqin are the same person; Or red inkstone and grotesque are the same person; Zhi Yanzhai is a woman, which is the fallacy of Shi Xiangyun's prototype in the novel. All these opinions have been corrected.
Jing Ben reveals many contents and plots after 1980s, such as the ending of Miaoyu and the death of Daiyu, in which the word "in front of the evidence" was written, and Baoyu also wrote a eulogy similar to "Daughter of Furong", as well as the later experiences of Granny Liu, Wang Xifeng and Qiaojie and Jia Yun's trip to buddhist nun. It is of great research value to explore the ending of A Dream of Red Mansions.
Nine, Zheng Cangben
That is, The Collection of Books in Zheng Zhenduo, there are only two times left: 23 times and 24 times. The title of the book is A Dream of Red Mansions, and the text is The Story of the Stone.
X. Chen Jia Ben
Also known as dream book, dream main preface book. The name was used because it was copied during the reign of Qianlong and Chenjia. Save 80 times and a little fat. Dream book simplifies a lot of words, the biggest feature is that the narrator's language is presented in small print. This is highly consistent with Cheng Jiaben. It can be proved that Chen Jia is the most important replica of the Cheng family.
Today, we can buy some copies in the market, such as JOE, Chen Geng and Chen Jia. , more is the simplified version and horizontal version published by various publishing houses. These passbooks have the same feature, that is, almost all of them are 120.
