《三国演义》原著成书于元代—以《三国演义》正文中的典制和俗语为中心

摘要

本文通过考析《三国演义》正文中的“密州”、“中山府”、“滑州”等元代地名，“太史院”、“太常院”、“枢密院”等元代官制，以及“的实”、“军士不打”等元代俗语，论证《三国演义》原著必成书于元代。因为这众多例证表明，作者最熟悉的是元代社会生活；同时，假如《三国演义》为明代成书，那么作者不可能再使用这些早已废除的元代典制和早已过时的元代俗语。%This paper proves that The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written in the Yuan Dynasty by means of a textual research on the place names in the Yuan Dynasty, such as Mizhou, Zhongshanzhou, Huazhou etc, the official system, such as the Ministry of Astronomy, the Ministry of Ceremonies, the Privy Council, and the common sayings as well. All these examples demonstrate that the most familiar social life of the author was that of the Yuan Dynasty.
