講座摘要

龔敏博士
「梅節先生的《金瓶梅》研究 」

梅節，字挺秀，世界著名的《紅樓夢》、《金瓶梅》研究專家。 《紅樓夢》名聲播遠書林，中外學者作家譽之為不可不讀的小說；《金瓶梅》內容多涉情色書寫，為歷代官方禁燬，以免蠱惑毒壞人心，以是流傳不廣。 一九八五年開始，梅節先生以一己之力，耗時近二十年歷經三次校訂，完成了《夢梅館定本金瓶梅詞話》，成為學術界公認最好的《金瓶梅》讀本，功在學林。 梅節先生隱居香江五十年，以讀書著述為樂，不求聞達，是學人專心治學的楷模。是次講述他整理校訂的《金瓶梅》讀本，也為聽眾介紹明代的奇書《金瓶梅》。

「少雪書齋夢裡人：晴雯」

在《紅樓夢》的文學譜系中，晴雯雖不在「金陵十二釵」正冊之列，卻位居「又副冊」之首。她不僅是書中一位性格鮮明的婢女，更是曹雪芹筆下極具張力的文學形象。其經典章回如「撕扇」與「補裘」，展現了她靈動而不屈的個性，這些生動的片段，長久以來亦成為中國傳統戲曲中不可或缺的藝術養分，被廣泛改編與演繹。

晴雯這一人物，不僅承載著濃厚的戲劇性，更蘊含著深刻的敘事層次。在本次演講會中，我們將透過多維度的視角，剖析晴雯的藝術形象，深入探討其背後的倫理價值與哲學意蘊，帶領觀眾重新解讀這位文學經典中令人難忘的女性角色。

Overview

Dr Man Kung
Mr Mei Jie’s Research on Jin Ping Mei

Mr Mei Jie, courtesy name Tingxiu, is a world-renowned scholar specializing in Dream of the Red Chamber and Jin Ping Mei (The Plum in the Golden Vase). Dream of the Red Chamber has achieved widespread acclaim across the literary world and is hailed by scholars and writers globally as a must-read masterpiece. In contrast, Jin Ping Mei contains extensive erotic content and was repeatedly banned and destroyed by official authorities throughout successive dynasties to prevent it from corrupting public morals. As a result, its circulation remained limited. Beginning in 1985, Mr Mei Jie single-handedly dedicated nearly twenty years to completing three rounds of textual collation, culminating in the Mengmeiguan Definitive Edition of Jin Ping Mei Cihua. This edition is now widely recognized by the academic community as the finest authoritative text of Jin Ping Mei, representing a monumental contribution to academia. Having lived in seclusion in Hong Kong for fifty years, Mr Mei Jie finds joy exclusively in reading and writing, seeking neither fame nor recognition. He stands as a true model of single-minded devotion to scholarship. This lecture introduces his collated edition of Jin Ping Mei, while also presenting this extraordinary Ming Dynasty masterpiece to the audience.

Qingwen - A Charming Figure in the Dreams of the Chamber of Young Snow

Within the literary lineage of Dream of the Red Chamber, while Qingwen is not included in the "Twelve Beauties of Jinling" (the main register), she stands at the head of the "Sub-Supplementary Register." She is far more than a maid with a distinct personality; she is a character of immense dramatic tension crafted by Cao Xueqin. Her iconic episodes, such as "Tearing the Fan" and "Mending the Feather Vest," reveal her vibrant and unyielding nature. These vivid scenes have long served as vital artistic inspiration, widely adapted and interpreted across various forms of traditional Chinese opera.

The character of Qingwen embodies not only intense theatricality but also profound narrative depth. In this lecture, we will examine her artistic persona from multiple dimensions, delving into the ethical and philosophical implications underlying her story, and inviting the audience to rediscover this unforgettable female figure from the literary classic.
