简评《吴承恩年谱》《吴承恩集》

摘要

Wu Chengen's authorship of Journey to the West was once widely disputed .Mr.Cai Tieying argues that such disputes arose from an insufficiency in the collection and sorting of research materials , especially from the lack of a systematic interpretation , resulting in some researchers'inadequate understanding of Wu's life expe-rience and literary achievements , and consequently their misplaced focus on some specious arguments and infer-ences.A Biographical Chronology of Wu Chengen and A Co llection of Wu Chengen's Worsk , in contrast, es-tablishes scientific and logical links between Wu and Jou rney ot the West .The major breakthrough consists in the most comprehensive and systematic understanding so far of Wu's literary achievements.%吴承恩是否写过《西游记》曾广受怀疑，蔡铁鹰先生认为历史上之所以会产生《西游记》作者含混不清的问题，主要还是因为在资料的收集与整理上下的功夫不足，尤其是体系性的整理、阐述不足，导致一些研究者对吴承恩的生平经历和创作成果一知半解，而把研究的视点纠缠于一些似是而非的考辩。《吴承恩年谱》、《吴承恩集》在《西游记》与吴氏本人之间建立起学理的、逻辑的联系，其中最重要的突破是对吴承恩的文学创作形成了迄今最系统最全面的了解。
