What is the difference between Cheng Jiaben and Cheng Yiben in Dream of Red Mansions ?

In the fifty-sixth year of Qianlong [1791], Cheng Weiyuan and Gao He first combined the text of the lipose commentary and the continuation of the forty chapters as one hundred and twenty chapters, taking the title of "Dream of Red Mansions", and later generations were accustomed to call it Cheng Jiaben;

The following year [1792], Gao Yi did it many times in the second book! Revise! , republished for Cheng Yiben;

If Cheng Jiaben is a follow-up work on the basis of the original work, Cheng Yiben is a pure dog-tailed continuation mink, which undermines Cao Xueqin's original intention of criticizing the corrupt feudal system of the Qing Dynasty;

Cheng Jiaben was the winter solstice of the 56th year of Qianlong (1791), 30 years after Cao Xueqin's death, and Cheng Weiyuan, the owner of the Huizhou Mansion Cui Book House, printed the 80th copy of "Dream of the Red Chamber" and the 40th supplement of Gao E's continuation for the first time in movable type, which was the first print of "Dream of Red Mansions". After its publication, due to the large amount of social demand, it could not be satisfied, and "because of the eagerness to make it public, the initial printing was not as fine as the proofreading, and there were errors in the intermittent" (Gao E's introduction to the book), and in the spring of the following year (the 57th year of the reign of Qianlong), it was revised and typeset again, with a total of five or six thousand words changed, and the title of the reply was also slightly changed, which was for Cheng Yiben, Cheng Jia, Cheng Yiben with 24 pages of drawings, which is the earliest one of the prints of "Dream of Red Mansions". Under the influence of woodcuts of the painting academy at that time, its style was very different from that of the Hui school prints of the Ming Dynasty.

The frontispiece contains prefaces by Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E. Since Cheng Yi's version was revised before printing, an introduction was added after the preface. A and B are preceded by Tuzan, and Tuzan and the preface are engravings, with a total of 24 pages.

All of them are half a page of 10 lines, a line of 24 characters, surrounded by two sides, white mouth, single fish tail. The cover is engraved with "New Engraving All Embroidered Like Dream of Red Mansions", signed "Cui Book House". At the end of the book, there are 24 volumes in the collection of the Extractive Book House.

Cheng Jia and Cheng Yi's "Dream of Red Mansions" has been passed down to this day, which is extremely rare, and Cheng Jia's book is even rarer. They are valuable materials for the study of Dream of the Red Chamber and occupy an important position in the history of classical Chinese literature and ancient printing.

Cheng Jiaben belongs to the ancient book

Cheng Yi came out in the next year, but the changes were very big

Gengchen Ben. The extant Gengchen copy was copied in about 1761 AD, that is, after the 26th year of Qianlong. It is the only one that has been copied earlier and is relatively complete, that is, the seventy-eight chapters, that is, the first to the eighty chapters, and the sixty-fourth and sixty-seventh chapters are missing (the sixty-fourth and sixty-seventh chapters are incomplete, and the two chapters of the existing copies are either based on the Cheng version or have been added by later generations).

In the sixty-eighth chapter, about 600 words were taken off, and it is estimated that one page was lost. Ten times a volume, a total of eight volumes, ten lines per half leaf, three crosses. Gengchen has more than 2,000 comments that are different from Jiazhu's book, which is very precious.

Gengchen's background is quite early, the appearance is the most complete, and Cao Xueqin is preserved.

Original text: "Dream of Red Mansions".

And the fat Yan Zhai has the most criticisms, and almost all of the names of the years and months in the fat batch exist in Gengchen.

Gengchen was originally the late Qing Dynasty champion, co-organizer of the university scholar Xu He (Song Pavilion) old collection, 1933 Hu Shi.

I saw this manuscript from Xu Xingshu, the son of Xu He, and wrote a long article "Baqianlong's Gengchen Ben "Fat Yan Zhai Re-evaluation of Stone Records" banknote". Summer 1948, Yenching University.

It was purchased from the Xu family and became a collection of books in the library of Peking University.

In 1955, the Beijing Literary and Ancient Books Publishing House photocopied and published a two-color photocopy of vermilion and ink, which was the first photocopy of the early lipoise in the world. In 1974, the People's Literature Publishing House reprinted it and replaced it with the Mongolian script, which is also what everyone has been reading.

Cheng Jiaben. In the fifty-sixth year of Qianlong (1791), Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E.

The first 80 chapters and the last 40 chapters of "Dream of Red Mansions" were combined into a complete story, typeset in movable wooden type, and the title of the book was "Dream of Red Mansions", commonly known as "Cheng Jiaben". The last 40 of them are generally believed to be made up by Gao He (there is also a saying that the anonymous man continued, and Gao He sorted out).

As soon as Cheng Jiaben came out, because it was a full book of one hundred and twenty times, Luoyang paper was immediately expensive and became popular. Since then, various engraved copies based on "Cheng Jiaben" have appeared, among which Wang Xilian's commentary "New Commentary on Embroidery Like a Dream of Red Mansions" published in the Shuangqing Immortal Pavilion in the 12th year of Daoguang (1832), referred to as "Wang Commentary", has been widely circulated and has a great influence.

In the 56th year of Qianlong (1791), Cheng Weiyuan and Gao He combined the first 80 chapters and the last 40 chapters of "A Dream of Red Mansions" into a complete story, which was typeset in movable wooden type, and the book was called "Dream of Red Mansions", commonly known as "Cheng Jiaben".

In addition, in the second year (that is, in the 57th year of Qianlong, 1792), Cheng Gao and the others did some "addendum and revision" and "slight revision" work on the first book, and reprinted it, commonly known as "Cheng Yiben". With the publication of "Cheng Yiben", the pre-auction clan ended the era of copying "Dream of Red Mansions", and the raiding made "Dream of Red Mansions" widely disseminated.

Wang Meng's "Dream of Red Mansions" is Cheng Jia's "Dream of Red Mansions", and the title of the book is "Wang Meng's Dream of Red Mansions". Published by Chung Hwa Book Company.

Qu Mu Ouyang Jian's "Dream of Red Mansions" is the pure Cheng Yiben's "Dream of Red Mansions". Published by Guizhou People's Publishing House.

The base of "Dream of Red Mansions" published by the People's Literature Publishing House is the Gengchen version used.

There are many publications of "Dream of Red Mansions" based on Cheng Jiaben, Cheng Yiben, and Gengchen Ben, and a large list of them can be arranged.
