論王世貞、王世懋對《世說新語》的刪編和評點

Wang Shizen And Wang Shimao’s Compilation And Commentary On Shi Shuo Xin Yu

明代《世說新語》的熱潮約興起於嘉靖年間，至萬曆年間達於頂峰。經由史料考索，這段期間《世說新語》的流傳以王世貞、王世懋所刪編和出版的《世說新語補》為主流，清人對《世說新語補》的流傳凌駕《世說新語》頗有指摘。本文首先論證四庫館臣對《世說新語補》的著錄，其次考索《世說新語補》在明代的刊定和流傳，再次分析王世貞、王世懋對《世說新語》的評點。本文研究後認為，《世說新語補》的刪定者為王世貞，此殆無疑義。而《世說新語補》刊定後迅速流傳，則取決於王世貞的名人效應，加上王氏兄弟對《世說新語》的評點，使明代《世說新語》的流傳呈現新的風貌，翻刻、校釋、續仿、評點皆頗為興盛。王氏兄弟無論在刪編和評點上，均帶領明代士人對《世說新語》投以關注和研究。

Shi Shuo Hsin Yu was popular from Jiajing to Wanli in the mid of Ming Dynasty. With some historical investigations, the book, called Shi Shuo Xin Yu Bu, was spread far and widely at that time. It was adapted from Shi Shuo Xin Yu by Wang Shizen and Wang Shimao. The scholars in Qing Dynasty condemned the phenomenon that Shi Shuo Xin Yu Bu was more popular than Shi Shuo Xin Yu . In the first part this essay aims to expound and prove when Si Koo ministers kept a record of Shi Shuo Xin Yu Bu, and then analyze Wang Shizhen and Wang Shimao’s commentaries on Shi Shuo Hsin Yu . This has proved that the editor of Shi Shuo Xin Yu Bu, no doubt, was Wang Shizen. Shi Shuo Hsin Yu Bu was spread because of Wang Shizen’s status as a celebrity, and the Wang brothers’s comments on Shi Shuo Hsin Yu, resulting in the popularity of the book in the Ming Dynasty. They led the scholars in Ming Dynasty to be interested in Shi Shuo Hsin Yu and do research on it.
