《小诗代简寄曹雪芹》写于乾隆二十六年二月底

摘要

The writing time of Xiao Shi Dai Jian Ji Cao Xueqin is the key to the verification of the date of death of Cao Xueqin. For, in the original copy of Mao Zhai Shi Chao, the four poems of Gu Cha Xiao Qi, Guo Yi Mou Dong Xuan, Dian Qiu and Xiao Shi Dai Jian were copied tightly without any sign of cutting and sticking. For Guo Yi Mou Dong Xuan was written in the spring of the 26th Years the Qing Emperor Qianlong, Xiao Shi Dai Jian Ji Cao Xueqin was written at almost the same time. Cao Xueqin was not in Beijing in the 25th year, so“three days prior to the event”should be the late February. And as he was traveling the mountain areas in northern suburb of Beijing from February 20 to March 20 in the 27th years, it was not written during that period. And it was at Dun Min's home not Dun Cheng’s that the meeting was hosted by Dun Min for the prediction of the poem.%　　《小诗代简寄曹雪芹》的写作时间是讨论曹雪芹卒年的关键。因为在《懋斋诗抄》的原件上，《古刹小憩》《过贻谋东轩》《典裘》和《小诗代简》这4首诗是紧密接连抄写的，没有剪贴的痕迹；又因为《过貽谋东轩》写于乾隆二十六年春；所以，《小诗代简寄曹雪芹》写于乾隆二十六年春。乾隆二十五年春曹雪芹不在北京。“上巳前三日”，应为二月底。敦诚乾隆二十七年二月二十日至三月二十日到北京北郊山区旅游，不在家；因此，《小诗代简寄曹雪芹》不会写于乾隆二十七年。敦敏所主办暨邀请的这次聚会(《小诗代简寄曹雪芹》预言的聚会)的地点是敦敏家，不是敦诚家。
