Huang Zhou-xing, who is a writer and adherent of Ming dynasty, wrote a classical Chinese short novel Bu Zhang-ling&Cui-ying He Zhuan. This novel is about a love story of a Wuzhong wit named Zhang-ling and a Nanchang beauty named Cui-ying in the mid-Ming. After studying three plots in this paper, we draw the following conclusions: the plot of Zhang-Ling’s begging is based on historical facts; there are no documents that King Ning has sent beauties to emperor, I suppose this plot consists of a series of facts, inducing King Ning’s paying tribute to emperor,lascivious Wuzong emperor, Ma-Ang’s giving beauties to Wuzong, Tang-yin’s painting Stunning Womenetc;meanwhile, the love story of Zhang-ling and Cui-ying should be coined, and it is not true.%明遗民文人黄周星的文言短篇小说《补张灵崔莹合传》,主要写明中叶吴中才子张灵与南昌佳人崔莹的恋爱故事。通过对涉及剧情的张灵乞食、宁王献美、张崔情事三事分别予以考察,得出如下结论:张灵乞食故事以其装乞戏商的史实演绎而成;宁王献美之事,文献无征,笔者猜测或是由宁王进贡方物、武宗贪色、马昂献女、唐寅绘《绝代名姝图》等事实综合嫁接而成;而张崔情事应为后人杜撰,并非实事。
