「水滸傳」成立考 : 內容面からのアプローチ

Abstract

It thought that the Shui-hu chuan 水滸傳 does the formation to the early stages of Ming 明 from the Yuan 元 last years, but when seeing from the characteristic having to do with a thought, a lot of elements which can not emerge before the middle of Ming are contained in the jung-yu t'ang pen 容與堂本 Shui-hu chuan. How as for being, will the Jong-yu tang pen have been formed? Here we consider it from the contents of the story. As the literature which precedes Jong-yu tang pen, first, an Yuan tsa-chu 元雜劇 is given, but the Yuan tsa-chu and the Jong-yu tang pen have few parts which the contents agree with. It will be derived from the fact that the Yuan tsa-chu and the story of the Shui-hu chuan in folklore presuppose that the group which doesn't change exists whereas in Jong-yu tang pen Shui-hu chuan, it is mainly told that the group is formed and that it collapses. To mainly tell formation contrastively with this comes out in the Ta-Sung Hsuan-ho i-shih 大宋宣和遺事. The contents agree with the first half of the Shui-hu chuan for the most part but the story which rebels with 12 heroes failing in the carriage of the flower and stone who were placed in the beginning in the Ta-Sung Hsuan-ho i-shih doesn't exist at the Jong-yu tang pen. And these 12 except Yang Chih 楊志 appear in the role which is completely different at the Jong-yu tang pen. In other words, the stories about these 11 heroes seem to have been made behind the Ta-Sung Hsuan-ho i-shih. Moreover, the heroes whose career isn't written in the Ta-Sung Hsuan-ho i-shih. may be added their story at the step of the Jong-yu tang pen. In this first half of the Jong-yu tang pen, the possible-ness which was made, adding the story which is based on the other entertainments and so on based on the Ta-Sung Hsuan-ho i-shih is high. On the other hand, in the second half, the battle by the group becomes of primary concern and one story tends to become long. The possible-ness which was created all together seems to be high about this part from no existing point for the preceding literature on this part. However, there are many subjective elements in the reasoning of the above. By the paper which is carried on the next issue, it plans to verify a hypothesis about this paper like the more objectivity from the side, the use distribution of the vocabulary and technique term.
