On the First Information of the Jin Ping Mei to reply Mr.Zhou Juntao
Originally,it is a consensus of all researchers on Yuan Zhonglang that the letter Dong Sibai was written in the 24th year of Wanli,and it is not the original creation of Han Nan and Wei Ziyun.As long as we admit it,it is indisputable that the first information of Jin Ping Mei is in this year.In order to challenge this viewpoint,Mr.Zhou specially picked out the names of Han Nan and Wei Ziyun,which was nothing more than to show that his"conscious pursuit"and"innovation in the debate with authorities"is his"belief"in his research.But interestingly,the basis of his argument to negate"the 24th year of Wanli"is precisely the so-called"tour Dongting Mountain together"of Han and Wei,which was precisely pressed on the heads of Han and Wei by him.It was nothing more than borrowing these two"authorities"to make himself proud.On the same issue,he was in a contradictory situation of both challenging two authorities and relying on them.In the discussion,not only he fabricated Han Nan who said"tour Dongting Mountain together",but also misread or misinterpreted a series of articles.The key is that Tao Shikui came to Suzhou twice,and clearly said that he did not tour Dongting in the 23rd year of Wanli.It was in the 24th year he took a group of friends and relatives to tour Dongting.When Yuan Zhonglang talked about the 24th year of Tao's tour of Dongting,he showed that he was ill and did not accompany him.Yuan Zhonglang also had an article named West Dongting,it was said that he toured Dongting himself.Therefore,Tao and Yuan never toured Dongting Mountain together.Mr.Zhou did not understand Dong Sibai,and misread the West Dongting.In the fictional Han,Wei toured Dongting Mountain together,under the guidance of this,he asserted Tao,Yuan toured Dongting Mountain together;since they toured Dongting Mountain together,it was not 24th,it must be 23rd.Then he deemed that the"first information"of Jin Ping Mei was the 23rd years of Wanli.It was obvious that learning can not start from overthrowing the authority,but to rely on fact and truth.Speaking with the material,and also to understand the material,there must be a realistic attitude to study.By writing this article to encourage Mr.Zhou and myself.
