摘要
《剑侠图传》是1881年出版的文言小说集,该书一函三册,上册为唐代文言小说《剑侠传》,下册为郑观应编纂的明清文言小说集《续剑侠传》,另有图一册。日本关西大学所藏的《剑侠图传》因其中钤有王韬的藏书印和姓名印而成为具有突出文献价值的稀见域外汉籍善本。通过对《申报》所刊的郑观应的政论文章和《遁窟谰言》《萤窗异草》《浇愁集》三部文言短篇小说出版广告的梳理,可以确定申报馆主人美查刊印文言短篇小说的工作启发了郑观应,并为他提供了《续剑侠传》的小说选本来源。此外,通过对《申报》所刊《剑侠图传》书籍广告的阐释和发微,还可以考证出三十九幅《续剑侠传》图像的绘制者为海上书画名家田子琳和钱吉生。以王韬藏书印为契机,在丰富的报刊文献史料基础上对《续剑侠传》成书过程、图像绘制者的考证以及对明清剑侠故事的图文阐释可以全面深入地探讨晚清内忧外患政局下郑观应“儒道互济”的剑侠思想及其劝惩教化的编纂意图。同时,郑观应编纂《剑侠图传》的时期正是他将《易言》三十六篇本交由王韬出版的时期,也是王韬对郑观应资产阶级改良思想产生直接影响的关键时期。因此,这部日藏《剑侠图传》不仅展示了编纂者与藏书者之间密切的学术交流关系,更代表了两位近代启蒙思想家在救世志向上的深刻共鸣。
The Jianxia Tuzhuan(剑侠图传)is a collection of classical Chinese short stories published in 1881.The book comprises three volumes in one case.Past academic research on Jianxia Tuzhuan has often limited its scope to being an illustrated collection of classical Chinese short stories edited by Zheng Guanying,neglecting its unique significance in the development of Zheng Guanying's enlightenment thought.The uniqueness of the copy of Jianxia Tuzhuan collected in Japan lies first in its value as a source of foreign literature research,specifically because it bears Wang Tao's personal seal.Furthermore,using Wang Tao's bookplate as a starting point,and building upon a wealth of historical newspaper and periodical materials,this paper conducts a comprehensive and in-depth exploration into the writing process of Xu Jianxia Zhuan(续剑侠传),the identification of the illustrator,and the illustrated interpretation of swordsman stories in the Ming and Qing dynasties.This exploration can reveal Zheng Guanying's swordsman philosophy and his editorial intentions of moral instruction and moral persuasion during the late Qing dynasty's political turmoil and internal and external crises.Furthermore,by placing the Jianxia Tuzhuan within the historical context of social changes and cultural enlightenment in the late Qing Dynasty,it can be found that the period when Zheng Guanying compiled Jianxia Tuzhuan was the same period when he entrusted Wang Tao with the publication of the thirty-six chapters of Yi Yan(易言),which was also a key period in which Wang Tao directly influenced Zheng Guanying's bourgeois reformist ideas.The first phase of Zheng Guanying's relationship with Wang Tao was from 1875 to 1880.At that time,Zheng Guanying,as a comprador for the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company,was still in the early stages of developing his enlightenment ideas.Therefore,on one hand,Zheng Guanying sent his manuscript of Yi Yan to Wang Tao for advice and entrusted the Hong Kong China Printing Bureau to publish it.On the other hand,he entrusted his budding ideals of national salvation to the image of a chivalrous swordsman who helps the distressed and punishes evil,and edited and published Jianxia Tuzhuan.Therefore,through research on the Jianxia Tuzhuan and its writing process,this paper finds that the research significance of this book far exceeds the textual value of Chinese books from overseas.Its deeper connotation lies in the fact that Jianxia Tuzhuan was published during the key period of the formation of Zheng Guanying's enlightenment thought system,representing his academic exchange and profound resonance with Wang Tao in terms of the ideal of saving the country.
