A Textual Research on the Identity of Little Xiao Sheng in Lan Ling

"Lan Xiaosheng" is just a pseudonym. Why do people? At the back of the preface, there is a postscript to Jin Ping Mei written by 20 Gong. The first sentence of The Postscript of Twenty Gong says: "The biography of Jin Ping Mei is a statement of a huge apartment in the World Temple." Shen Ming Telford's "Wan Li Ye Bian" is said to have been written by a famous person in Jiajing period. In other words, "Xiao Shaosheng" was a "giant man" and "great celebrity" in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty.

"A great man" or "a great celebrity" still has no real name. This leaves ample room for future generations to study the author of Jin Ping Mei. The author of Jin Ping Mei has become the "Goldbach conjecture" in the study of Jin Ping Mei, and up to 60 people have put forward it so far. Its widely influential figures are as follows: This theory is found in The Legend of Jin Ping Mei-The Secret History of Lan Ling Xiao's Life written by Mr. Fang Wenzhai, published by Oriental Publishing House in June 2006. The book identified Jin Ping Mei as the work of Ding Chun and his son, and Lan as Ding Chun and Ding Weining.

Ding Chun (A.D. 1504- 1576) was born in Tiantai, Zhucheng, Shandong Province, and was a seaside native. At the age of 27, I was admitted, and I made a "tribute" for more than 20 years, but I tried again and again. It was not until the age of 50 that he was awarded the discipline of Julu County, and later he was promoted to the discipline of Changyuan County, becoming the sole host of learning politics in a county. He began to write stories about evil heroes, and later his son Ding Weining continued to write and changed his name to Jin Ping Mei.

Ding Weining (A.D. 1542- 16 1), the word Ru 'an, the word No. Jiajing forty-four years (AD 1565), Jinshi. Later, he was named as the magistrate of Qingyuan County in Baoding, the magistrate of Changzhi County in Shanxi Province, the governor of Zhili, the assistant ambassador of Hu Guang and the doctor of Zhongxian County. Brilliant and knowledgeable. Editor-in-chief of Wanli Edition of Zhucheng County Records returned to his hometown at the age of 45 and lived at the foot of Jiuxian Mountain (now Dingjialouzi Village, Wulian County, Rizhao City, Shandong Province). Now there is Dinggong Ancestral Temple (a cultural relic protection unit) in the village.

Ding Weining lived in seclusion beside Lanling Valley in Wulian County for more than 20 years, and devoted himself to writing Jin Ping Mei Hua Ci. He inherited the addition, deletion and publication of the fifth son Ding (A.D. 1599- 167 1). Lan is called Ding Chun and his son. "Lanling" is not Lanling in Yixian County, Shandong Province, but a deep valley in the sun of Jiuxian Mountain in Wulian County, Shandong Province. Its original name was "Lanlingyu", and the villagers commonly called it "Lanlingkou", which was later changed to "Hill Spring".

The Twenty Palace, which wrote the postscript to Jin Ping Mei, wrote: "Jin Ping Mei was a giant residence when it was a temple of the world, but it was full of thorns." But the song is ugly in the world, and it is also the purpose of not deleting' zhengwei'. There is an ambush in the middle, and the author is also merciful. "Following the research of Ding Qiwei and Jin Liangpeng,' Twenty Gong' is the fifth son of Ding Weining." "Tianxia Temple" refers to the Jiajing period of Sejong in the Ming Dynasty. After taking part in the provincial examination in Jiajing period, Ding Chun was awarded the title of Julu in Zhili. In Zhucheng area in Ming and Qing dynasties, it is a custom to address a certain public as the official place of one's ancestors. The "Grand Duke" here is Ding's title of respect for his grandfather.

Who is "Xinzi Xin"? That is, the clock also. Zhong, whose name is Long Yuan, is from Zhongjiazhuang, Qingzhou. In the eighth year of Wanli (A.D. 1580), he was a scholar, and Li Ke gave lectures, while engineering left lectures. He was editor-in-chief of Qingzhou Fuzhi. Yan Yan Zi Bu, the dark meaning of self-satisfaction and self-adaptation. Smile, "smile" what? First, laugh at the absurdity of the world; Second, whether laughter is good or bad for life.

"Wu Dong Zhu Ke", that is, Dong Qichang. Dong was a famous genius and painter at the end of Ming Dynasty, and also a good friend of Ding Weining. He called Jin Ping Mei "an earth-shattering masterpiece".

This theory has been highly concerned by the gold academic circles. Wang Ping, a professor at Shandong University and president of Shandong Jinpingmei Society, believes that the argument of "Ding Weining's theory" is very convincing. Experts from Fudan University, Nankai University and other universities also believe that the "orchid mystery" is expected to find its source in Zhucheng.

Reporter: Are the authors of Jin Ping Mei Chun and his son? Is "Lanling" the canyon of Jiuxianshanzhuang in Wulian County, Shandong Province? Is Blue Ding Chun and Ding Weining? These things have been further researched by metallographic experts at home and abroad, and this statement is still inconclusive. The earliest disclosure of this information was Yuan Zhongdao's "Living in a Secluded Persimmon Record" in the Ming Dynasty. 1939 Arthur David Wiley (UK) first put it forward in the introduction of the English version of Jin Ping Mei, but he played a joke with a similar sound. Unexpectedly, 60 years later, Pan Chengyu's New Proof of Jin Ping Mei has completed a comprehensive demonstration of this theory. First of all, through the analysis of the description of Buddhism and Taoism in the novel, the book defines the author of Jin Ping Mei as "a figure whose life spans three generations of Jia, Long and Wan, but mainly lives in Jiajing Dynasty". Then "it is pointed out that the author of the novel is also a well-informed opera scholar, a highly skilled opera writer, an all-round painter and a guest who is good at practical writing"; "The author should have a life experience in frontier defense and even defending the enemy" and "have a strong sense of national hardship and a sense of defending the country and defending the country against the enemy"; "The author has a strong hobby of dialect spoken language"; "The author must have the life experience in the above dialect areas (referring to Shaoxing, Shandong, Beijing, Suzhou, Shanxi, Fujian, Guangdong, etc.). )"; I have a hobby of writing books and hiding my name in mysterious events. Through textual research on the geographical prototype of Jin Ping Mei, Shaoxing customs such as Shaoxing wine in Jin Ping Mei, Shaoxing folk customs in Jin Ping Mei and Shaoxing dialect in Jin Ping Mei, it is proved that the author of the novel must be from Shaoxing. Then prove one by one that "Xu Wei meets all the conditions of the author of Jin Ping Mei". Pan Chengyu also deciphered the riddles of "Twenty Duke", "Xu surname official", "Qinghe County", "Lan Ling" and "Xiao Xiaosheng" in the novel as "Xu Wei, Shanyin County, Fushan County, Shaoxing, East Zhejiang Province" and attributed them to "Shaoxing Confucianism". Pan Chengyu also researched the manuscript of Jin Ping Mei, and thought that Dong Qichang was the central figure in the circulating clue, while Tao Wangling was the key figure in the delivery of the manuscript. "Jin Ping Mei in Tao Wangling's hand was written by Xu Wei, which is probably Xu Wei's manuscript." Pan Chengyu also wrote a comparison between the text of Jin Ping Mei and the text of Xu Wei, "and drew a simple conclusion: Xu Wei's text was written by Xu Wei, and" The Thorn "was also written by Xu Wei". He further demonstrated "Shaoxing Scholar and Yan Song", "Shen Lian and Yan Song" and "Xu Wei and Shen Lian". In the section "Why did he take it out on whom", he thinks that "Xu Wei wrote Jin Ping Mei because he was impressed by the rural customs and was excited about Shen Lian's death, and the pen he wrote was full of all his misfortunes". Strictly speaking, Pan Chengyu is the founder mentioned by Xu Wei.

Pan Chengyu's New Evidence of Jin Ping Mei was published in 1999, in which the author's "Xu Wei's Theory" was expounded. Xing, a researcher at the Institute of Literature and Information of Henan University, rushed to Shaoxing from Henan after reading Pan Chengyu's book. After seeing the urban structure of Shaoxing, Xing marveled at the pattern of "one government and two counties" described in the novel and the internal and external landscape arrangements such as "Xianqian Street", "Dongjie Street", "Dajiekou Street", "Deng Shi Street" and "Wuli Garden", and almost all of them found real scenes in Shaoxing. After reading Xu Wei's former residence "Qingteng Bookstore", Xing exclaimed: "The location of Ximending in Jin Ping Mei is in Shaoxing! I want to concentrate on my research and dedicate my life to Xu Wei, the author of Jin Ping Mei! "

Why does the new certificate of Jin Ping Mei convince Xing so much?

In the New Evidence of Jin Ping Mei, Pan Chengyu made a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the text of Jin Ping Mei, and compared the changes before and after the description of Buddhism and Taoism in the novel. Through comparison, Pan Chengyu proposed that the writing time of Jin Ping Mei was an era when Buddhism had already lost power and Taoism had already lost power and influence. The time reflected in the novel spans Jia, Long and Wan dynasties, with Jiajing dynasty as the main one. The book was finalized about seventeen years after Wanli, and it was determined that the author was not a figure in Jiajing or Wanli era, but a person who lived in Jiajing dynasty all his life.

There are 27 ditties, 59 poems, 20 sets of 30 kinds of essays in Jin Ping Mei, and 24 drama works such as Romance of the West Chamber and Marriage of Two Generations.

On many occasions, when people should say, scold and cry, the author can't hide the impulse to create operas, but has created many operas. Jin Ping Mei is vivid in the description of characters and skillfully uses painting skills. Zhang Zhupo, a famous literary critic in Qing Dynasty, said, "Reading Jin Ping Mei depends on its painting. Children can see its sketches, and they will be able to make strange and labor-saving clever words. " In addition to poetry, lyrics, parallel prose and other literary styles, the author of Jin Ping Mei also uses some non-literary applied styles, most of which are official ones, such as Chapter 48, Zeng Zhushu, which "violates the light instrument and suddenly takes a year." It's hard to meet a bosom friend, but it's easy to break up after winning. This heart is always around ... "。

According to the above three points, Pan Chengyu proposed that the author of Jin Ping Mei is not only a novelist, but also a highly skilled opera writer, painter and performer who is good at writing practical official essays.

Pan Chengyu, the geographical prototype of the novel, has also made a new textual research.

In the first episode of Jin Ping Mei, the magistrate of Qinghe County said Song Wu: "Although he is from yanggu county, he is only near Qinghe County." The story of Song Wu's killing the tiger "spread all over Dongping, one government and two counties, and everyone knew the name of Song Wu".

The phenomenon of "one government and two counties" in the same city in Ming Dynasty is rare. In the novel, Dongping House contains two counties, yanggu county and Qinghe County, and the location of Ximen House is Qinghe County. Although it is clearly stated in the novel that Ximen Qing's address is "the memorial archway in Qinghe County, Shandong Province in the Song Dynasty", in the Ming Dynasty, Dongping House was not in the pattern of "one house and two counties", so it is not rigorous to think that Qinghe County in Shandong Province is the place where the story written in the novel takes place.

If Ximenfu is not in Shandong, where is the geographical prototype of the novel?

Pan Chengyu searched the history of the Ming Dynasty and found that there were only two governments in Shuntian and Xi 'an in the whole northern region, and five governments in Yingtian, Suzhou and Hangzhou, Huzhou and Shaoxing in the southern region, and there was a phenomenon of "one government and two counties".

In order to determine which city the specific prototype is, Pan Chengyu continues to look for clues in Jin Ping Mei.

In the forty-eighth chapter of the novel, it is written: "(Dongping House) entrusted Cheng Dibin of yanggu county to visit the whereabouts of Miao Tianxiu's body along the river" and "visited Xihe in Qinghe County", from which the specific orientation of the two counties is: Qinghe is in the east, Yanggu is in the west, and there is a boundary river between the two counties.

In the Ming Dynasty, in the verifiable "one government and two counties" government city, the two counties were arranged on both sides of the government in the east-west direction, with the river as the boundary, only Shaoxing was the only government.

By studying the novel text and the historical facts of Ming Dynasty, Pan Chengyu put forward a new viewpoint that subverts the traditional judgment of the golden circle: The geographical prototype described in Jin Ping Mei is not Qinghe County, Shandong Province, but Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province.

So far, the only hairstyle of women in the novel is "Hangzhou Hairpin", and "Hangzhou Liu" who borrowed money from Ximen Qing is also called "Liu in front". In the seventy-fourth chapter of the novel, Xue Jiazi declared: "This Zhao Lang can't do what he said. He got up one day and went to Shandong to buy pigs." In Chapter 94, Sister Xue, the matchmaker, heard people say, "My side. It is logically consistent with the geographical prototype of the novel Shaoxing. Because only the host of Shaoxing will tell his friends that there is a Shandong guest here, and it is not necessary for the host of Shandong to deliberately address the other party as a Shandong guest. Only Shaoxing, which conforms to the pattern of "one government and two counties" near Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, will call "Hangzhou Liu Guanxue" "Liu Guanxue in front".

Not only Shaoxing people, but also painters, dramatists and screen guests. Which Shaoxing native was the most likely author of Jin Ping Mei in Ming Dynasty?

In the end, all kinds of clues are concentrated on one person, and this person is Xu Wei, a celebrity in Shaoxing in the Ming Dynasty.

In June 5438 +2000 10, Professor Wu Gan published a long article "Review and Reflection on the Study of Jin Ping Mei in the 20th Century" at the fourth international symposium on Jin Ping Mei, saying: "The New Certificate of Jin Ping Mei written by Pan Chengyu is the most rigorous in logic, the most subtle in inference, the most standardized in writing and the most structured.

Xiao Xiaosheng in Lanling has a deep hatred with Wang Shizhen.

Both Jin Ping Mei Hua Ci and Xiu Xiang Jin Ping Mei can be found that there are a lot of innuendos about Wang Shizhen (1526- 1590) and even the Wang Shizhen family in Taicang, and their attitudes are very unfriendly.

In the first and second editions of 17 and 18, Wang Fu, the hapless minister of war, appeared. Because of the failure to defend the capital, the enemy went deep, was impeached by the government, was imprisoned in May, and was beheaded by the emperor himself. Wang Shizhen's father, Wang Huan (1507- 1560), died in this way, and was also posthumously named as the minister of war. Wang Shizhen and his relatives and friends are extremely taboo.

Second, the two versions of the sixty-fifth welcome Huang Liu Taiwei in the Shandong bureaucracy, there are two exceptions, they are neither real figures at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, nor literati during the Zheng De and Jiajing years of the Ming Dynasty. One is "Chen Sizhen's right policy". According to research, it implies that in the seventeenth year of Wanli, Luo, an official of Dali Temple, risked his life to remonstrate. One is "Wang Qingzhou Shi Qi", which according to textual research alludes to Qingzhou Bingbei agreement Wang Shizhen and his eldest son Wang Shiqi. At the same time, Huang Jia, Ling Yiyun and Di Sibin were jiangnan province examiners in Guimao family in the 22nd year of Jiajing (1543), and Wang Shizhen was in this family. Wang Shizhen, Ling, Di Sibin, Cao He and Huang Dou were the Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing (1547).

Three or two versions of Ximen Qing's official and business heir Zhang Erguan was named "Zhang Maode", and Wang Shizhen's younger brother Wang Erguan was named "Wang Shimao". What would it be like if Wang Shizhen or a public figure wrote Jin Ping Mei like this?

Fourthly, Xiu Xiang Jin Ping Mei's hostility to Wang Shizhen further escalated. For the first time, the Earl wanted to say, "If we have to talk about wealth these days, we can't talk about gnashing our teeth." This obviously alluded to the scandal that Li Panlong and Wang Shizhen rejected the old poet Xie Zhen because of the young dignitaries as their agents.

Fifthly, the 30th title of Xiu Xiang Jin Ping Mei, "Master Cai is good at making graceful and restrained remarks in the west", has obviously committed the name of "Wang Xi Jue" (1534- 16 14). Wang Xijue is the head of the Wang family in Taicang. He helped Wang Shizhen get promoted and gave gifts to Wang Tuan. According to Ben, this is all "Cai's kindness."

Six, "Xiu Xiang Jin Ping Mei" seventy-two back to the Wangs "Stone" has a couplet "Tree Weathering Frost", which was originally written and later copied by Wang Shizhen. Ironically, hanging this poem in the infamous Wang family. There are only three officials in Fu Xuan written by Wang Zhao, so where are Wang Daguan and Wang Erguan?

Seven, "Xiu Xiang Jin Ping Mei" Back to the ninety-third black sheep "Chen Jingji" became a Taoist, named "Chen Zongmei" and became a child molester. Wang Shifang (1503- 1563), whose real name is Jimei, is Wang Shizhen's cousin. Wang Shimao (1536- 1588) has a beautiful word. Wang Shizhen, his own characters are beautiful. What would it be like if Wang Shizhen or a public figure wrote Jin Ping Mei like this?

Thus, the author Lan is not only the enemy of Yan Song, but also the enemy of Wang Shizhen. There is an intersection between the two, and only Xu Wei meets this condition in the existing author's doubts. Who is the real author of Jin Ping Mei? Who is the pseudonym "Lan" in the book? This "Goldbach conjecture" in the history of China literature and gold academic circles has puzzled experts, scholars and readers for more than 400 years. On June 5438+065438+ 10, 2008, Zhejiang scholar Chen Mingda published a long article "A textual research on the author of Jin Ping Mei", explaining that the author of Jin Ping Mei was Cai, a native of Huangyan in Ming Dynasty.

Cai (1559-? ) the word goes to the disease, the sentence is everywhere, and Huangyan is well known. Born in a scholarly family, I studied ancient poetry. Great-grandfather Cai, scholar, Tingzhou magistrate. Grandfather Cai Shaoke, juren, magistrate of Dali Prefecture. Uncle Cai was born a scholar and was a doctor of rites. Cai was young and smart, and was admitted to the top prize at the age of 17. But he goes his own way, is extreme and arrogant, and is not tolerant of red tape. He failed in many local exams. So I was addicted to poetry and wine, and when I was drunk, I became a poem. He is the author of Tai Zhu Chi and He Ting Shi Hua. At the age of 24, Cai went north to visit Wang Shizhen, and was deeply appreciated and invited as a guest of honor. Stay in the house. Chen Mingda textual research from eight aspects: 1, and a large number of unique Huangyan dialects in the book prove that only Huangyan people can write. 2. Cai's birth, experience and personality conform to the identity of the author of Jin Ping Mei; Lotus Pavilion Poetry provides direct evidence. 3. Wang Shizhen helped Cai finish Jin Ping Mei. Wang Shizhen's poem "The sleeve has a top stone, and it spits out like a cloud". "After two years, I was deeply impressed by what I saw and heard" and Cai's "Out of the Mountain" confirmed that the first draft of Jin Ping Mei was written by Cai, and Cai finalized it in the mountain garden two years later. 4. Wang Shizhen's "Jacket of Sleeves"; Xinzi Xin's preface: "A friend smiles and is born for it, so I am grateful for what I have on weekdays, and I am writing a biography"; Jin Ping Mei, page 36, back to 955: Cai Zhuangyuan said: "Student Cai Yun is a little nominal spring", "spring" and "Shui Yuan" are homophones of "water and book" in Huangyan dialect, and they all pronounce "Xu". It means that the source of Cai Yun's books is the same. They all mentioned the origin of the manuscript of Jin Ping Mei, proving that Shao is Cai. 5. "Laughing at Lanling" comes from the "drinker" in Wang Shizhen's poem "Pity Cai for getting rid of illness and not drinking people's illness", and Lanling refers to wine. The "Xinzi Xin's" joy "comes from the" foresight "in Wang Shizhen's poem" What you see and hear is pleasing "; 6. Xinzi Xin's On the Porch of Li Mingxian. The second meaning of "thriving" is "thriving", so the whole signature implies "fame is idle in the book" ⑦, and "refers to Zhang" in the postscript of Jin Ping Mei. Wang Shizhen and Zhang are the same year. In order to allude to Zhang, the author must be anonymous, so it was named "Lan Ling Xiao Sheng". 8. Many scholars have been puzzled by Cai. Such as the origin of "Sanqi", "Fengcheng" and "Furong Pavilion". See the preface to the Manchu translation of Jin Ping Mei. At the beginning of the book, there is a preface made by Gu Erdan in May of the forty-seventh year of Kangxi: "This book was written by the idle Confucian scholar Lu Nan in the Ming Dynasty, denouncing Yan Song and Yan Shifan. I wonder if it's true. "

Lunan, a writer in Ming Dynasty, was born in Xun County. Taisheng, one of the five sons of Guang Guang in the late Ming Dynasty, wrote the Collection of Midges. He is a brilliant Wang Shizhen. He is very familiar with the social customs and life of citizens in Xun County and Linqing, and has the conditions to create Jin Ping Mei. Professor Wang Rumei stated Feodor Lynen's theory in Tan Manwen's preface to Jin Ping Mei, but it was not confirmed. Feng Menglong (A.D.1574-1646) was a famous popular writer in Ming Dynasty. The word You Long, alias Maoyuan unofficial history, Longziyou, Guqu Sanren, Gusu Ci Slave, Zhan Zhan Waishi, Pingping Pavilion Master, Mohan Zhai Master, etc., was born in Changzhou (now Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province). In Chongzhen, Gong Sheng awarded Shouning County, Fujian. The Qing soldiers crossed the river and participated in the anti-Qing struggle. Influenced by the trend of progressive literature in the late Ming Dynasty, represented by Li Zhi, he attached great importance to novels, operas and popular literature. Using vernacular novels to compile three collections of novels-novels by Yu Shiming, Yan, and Xing; Collection of folk songs-Guizhi Er and Folk Songs; Notes-an overview of ancient and modern love history; Rewrite novels-The Legend of Pingyao and The History of New China; Sanqu Collection "New Drama under the Stage"; Opera "The Legend of Mohanzhai" and so on. Feng Menglong was an extremely active, versatile and prolific writer in the late Ming Dynasty. In the eighty-one People's Records of Suzhou Prefecture, he was praised for his "ups and downs in talent and emotion, beautiful poetry and algae, especially his knowledge of Confucian classics". He grew up from a poor family, studied hard and studied literature, history and philosophy deeply. I taught in a private school and explained Chunqiu, so I was able to write Chunqiu Hengku later. Middle-aged people make a living by selling articles, and have written many manuscripts and books for Suzhou Bookstore. According to relevant records and Zou Xintai's Sanqu, he fell in love with Hou Huiqing, a famous geisha, when he was young. Later, Hou Huiqing married someone, which made him very disappointed, so he disappeared from the brothel and ended his dissolute life. It can be seen that Feng Menglong once indulged in brothels for a long time. Because of his activities in brothels, teahouses and restaurants, he has a good understanding of the social life of citizens and has the opportunity to observe and analyze the lives and mentality of women trapped in the bottom of society. He became an official at the age of 56.

Wan Wei Tze, a professor at Taiwan Province Normal University, believes that Feng Menglong, a tourist from Jinling, wrote a tribute to the headscarf in Jin Ping Mei Hua Ci and in Feng Menglong's book Examples of Wei Zhongxian's Novels. So, open a book with a smile and Feng Menglong's Talking about Ancient and Modern and Laughing Forest. Starting with the name of Feng Menglong, Mr. Chen thinks that Wu Dong Pearl Maker, Lan Shaosheng and Xinzi Xin are all aliases of Feng Menglong. It has three prefaces and postscripts with different signatures and endings, but it is actually an article. If the parallelism is studied, it will constitute a complete research paper on Jin Ping Mei. At the same time, it specifically demonstrates the three stages of Feng's creation of Jin Ping Mei. Another scholar pointed out that the words and expressions in Chongzhen Ben and Jin Ping Mei should also be written by Feng Menglong. Feng Menglong plays a special role in studying the early spread and creation of Jin Ping Mei.

Experts believe that "Jin Ping Mei" is not necessarily a collective creation accumulated from generation to generation, but it is not denied that it is difficult to determine whether this final revision is once or many times after systematic arrangement or final revision. Many times means that after a preliminary completion, people at the same time or in different times have made major or final revisions and revisions to the work. At the same time, to solve the mystery of the author of Jin Ping Mei, we must jump out of three frames: first, Jiajing, second, Shandong people and third, celebrities. In order to discuss scientifically, the existing Wanli edition, namely Ding Sinian (AD 16 17), should be the first edition, and the first edition is the new edition, which has a great relationship with Feng Menglong, and the last revision or writing must belong to him. In addition, there are Li Xianfang, Shen Defu, Feng Weimin, Zang, Jin Shengtan, Tian Yiheng, Tang Yin, Li Panlong, Xiao Mingfeng, Hu Zhong, Liu Xiuting, Li Zhuowu, Tang Xianzu, Tao Wangling, Ding, Qiu Zhichong and Yuan Hongdao.

There are also earlier Shaoxing Laoru, Wu Jinliqi's Men, and A dutiful son. According to statistics, by the end of 20 13, this list has exceeded 60 people. But this is by no means the final number. Maybe one day, this list will rise to three digits.

In addition, there is the "collective creation" theory of "world accumulation". Mr. Ding Lang believes that the original copyright of Jin Ping Mei does not belong to Lan. The so-called "Lan Shaosheng" is basically an impostor, deceiving the world and stealing fame. He may be the reviser of Chapters 53 and 54 of Jin Ping Mei Hua Ci. More likely, there is no such person in the world, just a "teacher Wu", a "fake real person" invented by a professor in order to meet the needs of publishers on a whim. Mr. Ding Lang advocated "hanging a portrait of a missing person on the streets of Beijing". He painted the author and thought that he should have the following characteristics: First, he lived in the east of Beijing for a long time. Second, he often goes to places like the Third Hospital of our company. Thirdly, his understanding of military attache's life exceeds his understanding of civilian's life. He knows more about Beijing than any other place. He knows more about real life than books; And his book knowledge (including history, geography, etc. ) mainly comes from the movable type version of the Song and Yuan Dynasties and the operas of various operas. Fourth, he has almost no talent for poetry, and he doesn't even know the rhythm of poetry, but his love for pop songs and folk tunes is extraordinary. He has a close relationship with Quyi. Sixth, he shared the same thoughts as the eunuch who fell from power in Jiajing Dynasty, loving what he loved and hating what he hated. Moreover, he himself is probably incompetent and abnormal. Seven, he had contacts with some scholars of Ming Jiajing Ding Weike, and at the same time he might have a deep hatred with Emperor Jiajing. (See Ding Lang's Jin Ping Mei and Beijing, China Social Publishing House, 1996, 1 1 version).

Although the list of candidates for the author of Jin Ping Mei is getting longer and longer, such as Huang Lin's Tu Long Theory, Bu Jian's Li Kaixian Theory, Lu Ge's and Ma Su's Wang Zhi Theory, Xu Jianping's and Huo Xianjun's Wang Shizhen Theory, and Pan Chengyu's Xu Weizhi's theory, etc., they can be called five theories in today's research results of Jin Ping Mei, but in all fairness, none of them have been generally recognized by the academic circles, and there is no direct evidence. For more than 400 years, scholars have done a lot of profound analysis and research to solve this mystery, and they are still in different lawsuits. Therefore, Associate Professor Zhou once said humorously that unless something related to cultural relics is unearthed underground one day, the debate will never end.
