柳湘蓮矛盾形象探論──兼論香憐為其脫化之寫

A Probe into the Rewriting Path of Liu Xianglian’s Image——Also on Xiang Lian's Writing of Desalination

本文主要探討《紅樓夢》「次級人物形象」柳湘蓮此形象於今本所見矛盾情形與其是否為舊稿人物？及其與今本之間的可能改寫途徑，次則兼論今本第九回鬧學塾事件的香憐一角，應是由柳湘蓮原型脫化而出，最後探討柳湘蓮形象的增刪改寫路徑及其脫化，可能緣於賈寶玉悟道題旨與尤三姐形象改良，作者試圖以其作寶玉悟道敘事的先行者，並成為尤三姐改良後的形象襯托，以漸進完成作者從《風月寶鑑》舊稿昇華到今本《紅樓夢》境題旨的敘事架構主體。

"This article mainly discusses whether Liu Xianglian, the “secondary character image”, is a character in the old manuscript of Fengyue Baojian, through the context of the character image in “A Dream of Red Mansions”. In the process of adding, deleting, rewriting, and rewriting the part of Xiang Lian in the incident of Nine Backs to the School of Education, it may have emerged from the prototype of Liu Xianglian. Secondly, whether the path of adding, deleting and rewriting Liu Xianglian's image may be changed through the rewriting and improvement of the two images of Jia Baoyu and You Sanjie. Finally, the author concludes that Liu Xianglian's rewriting process from the old manuscript to the present one is a treasure. First as the forerunner of the enlightened narrative, and then becoming the improved image of You Sanjie, finally the gradual completion of the narrative framework by the author's sublimation from the old draft of Fengyue Baojian to the theme of the present “A Dream of Red Mansions”."
