重估《水浒传》袁无涯本的价值

Re-evaluation the Value of Yuan Wuya’s Edition about The Water Margin The Comparison on the Editions of Yuan Wuya and Rongyu Tang

The Water Margin’s editions of Yuan Wuya and Rongyu Tang are belongs to the same tedious system, but they have a lot of difference in the story, the details of the character, head poems and the additions of the poetry. In the edition of Yuan Wuya, the plots have been adjusted, for example: the marriage of Wang Aihu and Hu Sanniang, the introduction of Zhu Wu; the story is more reasonable than that in the edition of Rongyu Tang. In the details of the story, the editions of Yuan Wuya and Rongyu Tang have their own merits. The extra parts of Yuan Wuya’s edition are the detail accounts and supplements. The head poems in Rongyu Tang’s edition have not completely disappeared, they were relocated to the text. The poetry in the Yuan Way’s edition have accepted the criticism opinions of the Rongyu Tang’s, they are more rational, they also have been improved in art certainly, but they are more conservative in ideological tendency.
