From the introduction to Xue Pan: "The ancestral home is Nanjing, and he lives in Xijing." At that time, Xijing was the capital, and Xijing was Chang'an in history, which should refer to the Tang Dynasty.However, in terms of clothing, it should be the Ming Dynasty.Judging from the last memorial Jia Zheng received, the mention of smuggling of foreign guns and gunpowder should be the Qing Dynasty.In addition, it is mentioned many times in the works that Jiamu wears glasses, which should have been introduced from the West in the Qing Dynasty.

In short, because Cao Xueqin avoided the literary prison at that time, he tried his best to blur the dynasty.It implies the Qing Dynasty, but not the Qing Dynasty, in order to avoid current affairs.In terms of customs and clothing, the blending of various dynasties has been adopted.He can cross time and space, cross regions, and break laws.For example, when writing about the capital city, the bamboo forest and the kang are together. Bamboo is originally a thing from the south, and the kang is originally a thing from the north, so they can be together.

Title of work

Dream of the Red Mansion

"Water Margin" is one of the best novels in the history of our country, so who is the author of this masterpiece?

According to the records of "Shaoshi Shanfang Bi Cong", the author of "Water Margin" is no doubt Shi Naian: "Water Margin Shimou, a Yuan man, compiled "Water Margin", which is very popular... His disciple Luo Ben also followed the example of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" "." Lin Han of the Ming Dynasty also supported this statement in "Yang Sheng'an's Commentary on the Sui and Tang Dynasties Biography Preface": ""Water Margin" is the collection of Shi Naian in Qiantang."

The saying that "Water Margin" was written by Shi Naian is widely circulated in our country, but the historians have always opposed it.

Some people think that the authors of novels in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty did not leave their real names on the front of the volume, so "Shi Naian" is just the author's pen name or a false name.In addition, many scholars pointed out that many of the place names in "Water Margin" appeared after the Ming Dynasty, so it is impossible for Shi Naian, who was active in the late Yuan Dynasty, to know these place names.

In view of this statement, many scholars believe that the author of "Water Margin" is someone else.For example, Mr. Hu Shi once pointed out: "Shi Naian is probably a first-class person of 'Mr. Wu You' and 'Death is a public'. It is a false name." So another saying quietly emerged, that is, "Water Margin" The original author is Luo Guanzhong.Scholars supporting this statement have also collected a lot of evidence from the literature.

For example, in the work "Water Margin", it is mentioned that "Luo Shi, a Yueman... for this book, there are a total of one hundred chapters".The "Jingben Supplementary and Corrected Holographic Loyalty and Justice Water Margin Commentary" published by the Wanli Dynasty is called "Central Plains Guanzhong Luodao's original name Qingfu compilation".Until the period of the Republic of China, many scholars still supported this statement.For example, Lu Xun and Yu Pingbo believed that the simplified version of "Water Margin" was created by Luo Guanzhong.

However, there are also opponents of this argument.

Some scholars believe that the author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is Luo Guanzhong, which is not in dispute.However, there is a big difference in the style of writing between "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin", and the language styles of the two are quite different.We know that the style of writing used in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is plain and easy-to-understand classical Chinese, while "Water Margin" is very down-to-earth vernacular.We know that it is very difficult for novel authors to control these two styles of writing at the same time, let alone use two styles of writing to create two great works?

"Seventy chapters of a book can be described as a great start, and this one can be described as a great end. Reading it is like thousands of miles of dragons, entering the sea together, and there is no regret at all. Killing Luo Guanzhong with a smile, adding a dog's tail, only to see its ugliness .”

It can be seen from this that Mr. Jin Shengtan believes that the second half of "Water Margin" (after the Great Juyi) is completely Luo Guanzhong's dog-tailed continuation, and has no value in existence.However, Mr. Jin Shengtan did not give a basis, so we have no way of judging why Jin Shengtan made such a statement

Some people believe that Shi Naian was 42 years old when he wrote the book, and at this time he was already a mature author who had experienced great storms.In contrast, Luo Guanzhong in this period was just a naughty boy who had just left his infancy.By the time Luo Guanzhong has the ability to write a book, "Water Margin" has been finalized for at least 20 years, and anyone who continues to write at this time will be suspected of superfluous.

Moreover, judging from the style of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the war descriptions in this book are quite detailed. Mr. Luo Guanzhong must have put a lot of effort into vividly portraying the war scenes.Therefore, most of the geographical locations that appear in the book are closely related to history.Even if it is a fabricated part, it will not make people feel abrupt.

On the other hand, in "Water Margin", most of the wars in it have never happened in history. Some of the war descriptions in this book are like children playing house, full of loopholes.From the description of the war in "Water Margin", it can be seen that the author's writing is flawed, at least the author is not good at describing the fact that war is a certainty.

If Mr. Luo Guanzhong edited and even continued to write Water Margin, there would never be so many obvious mistakes and omissions.Luo Guanzhong is a disciple of Mr. Shi Naian. As a disciple, you will not see the teacher's works full of mistakes, right?

Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned sayings, there are also sayings such as "collective creation theory" among the people.It is a pity that there are different opinions about the author of "Water Margin", and the holders of each point of view can produce evidence, so it is still inconclusive.
