《红楼梦》第六十四、六十七回研究综述

A Review of Studies on Chapters 64 and 67 of Dream of the Red Chamber

摘要: 《红楼梦》第六十四回和第六十七回由于在庚辰本、己卯本等早期抄本中缺失，自20世纪初以来一直是红学版本研究的焦点问题。学界围绕这两回的真伪和文本优劣问题持续进行讨论，可概括为“真笔说”“修补说”“伪作说”三种观点。其中第六十七回各本文字差异较大，又有“简本”“繁本”二系的划分，并对其先后关系存在争议。此外，两回的人物塑造、《五美吟》的阐释等也是研究热点。本文对相关研究成果进行梳理，归纳主要观点，分析存在的问题，为后续研究提供参考。

Abstract: Chapters 64 and 67 of Dream of the Red Chamber, which are missing from early manuscript copies such as the Gengchen and Jimao editions, have been a focal point of textual research in Redology since the early 20th century. Scholarly discussions have long revolved around the authenticity and textual quality of these two chapters, giving rise to three main viewpoints: the “authentic writing” theory, the “revision” theory, and the “forgery” theory. Among them, Chapter 67 exhibits significant textual variations across different editions, leading to its division into two textual lineages—the “abbreviated version” and the “full version”—with ongoing disputes regarding their chronological relationship. In addition, the characterization in these two chapters and the interpretation of the Five Beauties poems are also key research focuses. This paper reviews the relevant scholarship, summarizes the major viewpoints, and identifies existing issues, so as to provide a reference for future research.
