Forty years of publishing, "Dream of Red Mansions" has been revised 3 times: the latest revision involves more than 300 places

On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the publication, the Red Research Institute's Note "Dream of Red Mansions" again launched a revised new version. On August 26, Yangzi Evening News/Zi Niu Journalist learned from the People's Literature Press that the specific revision of the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions" involves hundreds of places. Change to the new version.

"Dream of Red Mansions" was published, and after three revisions

In 1982, "Dream of Red Mansions" was published in 1996 and 2008, which was fully revised in 1996 and 2008, that is, the second and third editions, and in 2013, the third edition also carried out a small -scale repairs.

The third edition has passed for more than ten years. During this period, the Red Studies have been further developed. Various "Dream of Red Mansions" and Red Studies have published some opinions on this book. The publisher decided to revise this book again.

This revision, more than 150 articles and punctuations, more than thirty schools, and more than 200 annotations. Do not change the principles of the school note, only local amendments, follow the base, and change the wrong.

In the revision instructions, the author's signature of the author of "Dream of Red Mansions" is specifically mentioned. There was a development process in the history of "Dream of Red Mansions". In 1953, the first published "Dream of Red Mansions" did not have a signature of Gao Jian. The author was only Cao Xueqin's name. In 1957, when the second "Dream of Red Mansions" was published in the name of the People's Literature Publishing House, only the signature of "Cao Xueqin, Gao Gao" was signed.

With the deepening of the study of the 40 times after the Dream of Red Mansions in the past years, most scholars have denied the "high continuation", and who is still unable to determine who the continuing author is. Therefore, the third edition has already changed the author of "Dream of Red Mansions" to: "(first eighty times) Cao Xueqin, (last forty times) Anonymous family continued, Cheng Weiyuan and Gao Yan organized."

Gao Yan is not the author of the 40s after the Dream of Red Mansions. He and his friend Cheng Weiyuan are the organizers of Cheng Jia and Cheng Yi's "Dream of Red Mansions", and have made important contributions to the printing and spread of "Dream of Red Mansions".

What did you change this revision?

Lu Qixiang, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Arts and a member of the Note of the Red Mansion Meng School, is the main expert of previous revisions. He introduced that there are two principles for the revision: one is respect for the bottom. For example, you do n’t need to “owe love” but use “seeing love”, do n’t use “serving” with “Fu Shi”, do n’t need to “slowly speaking” with “driving”. There are not many examples. "

For example, forty -one times in the book, everyone was drinking on the table. Mother Jia said, "Let your aunt make everyone", this is what Wang Xifeng said, because Mrs. Wang is Wang Xifeng's aunt, and it should be "aunt". It was wrong to call Cheng "Auntie". This time the revision changed it back.

On the other hand, some errors in the original work are correct, and some entries are appropriately added, "For example, the words" still 'and' Nai 'are still fake. We didn't pay attention before, and this time we also made notes. "

There is also a situation that can be called "negative negation". For example, the seventy -sixth round of "Dream of Red Mansions", the last sentence of Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun's poem "Cold Moon Buried Flower Soul". "Later, the revision was changed to" cold moon burial poetry soul ". This time, it was changed again, because the burial soul and funeral groaning were echo, and there was a soul soul and bird soul in front. The second is because of the "Hantang Duhe Shadow" above.

Li Hongqiang, editor -in -chief of the People's Literature Publishing House, said that about 270 years ago, Cao Xueqin began the creation of "Dream of Red Mansions". The literary classics that are difficult to surpass in the history of literature have been loved by countless readers to this day.

The new version launched this time is based on the continuous absorption of the opinions of all parties and absorbing the research of red science, to present a more complete and more suitable version of the public reading.
