220104 to Mr. Gong Zhuxin Zhuxin: I received a letter today.

The detailed address of Maruzen is: Tokyo City, Nihonbashi Ward, Tsusan-chome, Maruzen Co., Ltd. [1].

Chai Jun from the university, we don't know him.

The two previous novels,[2] were published in the Morning Post, last month. This honorarium has been given to the museum at the address of the gentleman, and they will send it directly to them in the future.

(1) Japanese: Co., Ltd.

[2] It is suspected that Chekhov's "After the Return of the Theatre" and "The Gentleman's Friend", translated by Gong Wanxuan, were published in the supplements of the Morning Post on December 13 and 14 and 15, 1921, respectively.

220216 to Mr. Gong Zhuxin Zhuxin: When I received a letter last year, the "Morning Post" immediately went to urge it, and according to the cloud, it arrived within the year, and it was probably done a long time ago.

As for the first floor, I really can't think about it. Because I didn't have any friends, I didn't know a few schools, and I asked and asked, but now the school only has a reduction in people, and I can't talk about recommending people, so I have no way out.

The gentleman wrote to say that he was helping each other, which really makes sense. But the so-called mutual aid must also have the power to help, if not, it will not be possible. And the current situation is not something that a person in the education field can effectively test by saying a word and doing a little thing.

I am sorry for the clear answer above. As for the rest, I will not say: for I have no right to judge the actions of others, and I do not want to do so.

Zhou Shuren 220814 to Mr. Hu Shishizhi on February 16: The materials about the deeds of the author of "Journey to the West",[1] are now recorded on five papers, and they do not need to be returned. The last paragraph of "Shanyang Chronicles" [2] is very wrong, and Wu Shanfu has not seen Changchun's "Journey to the West" [3].

Yesterday, I bought "Qu Yuan" [4] at the Zhili Official Bookstore a lithograph of the circulation office of ancient Shanghai books, which contains Jiao Xun's "Drama Story" [5] quoting "Chayu Hakka" to say that "Journey to the West" is the author of "Journey to the West" [6], which is also slightly the same as that recorded in "Shanyang Zhiji". In the past, I had seen the "Tea Yu Hakka Words" typeset by the Business Museum, and I did not remember this article, which was a section book, and its full copy was in the "Xiaofang Huzhai Series" [7], but there was no one in the house.

"Drama Talk" is also cloudy, "The words of Yuanren Wu Changling [8] "Journey to the West" are very different from the popular "Journey to the West" novel", it seems that Yuanren Jiao Xun has seen it. Since the cloud is "small", it is roughly the same, and it can be deduced that the people of Sheyang Mountain [9] are more than based on the old theory. and the Wang Guowei's "Qulu" [10] in "Qu Yuan" also has several titles related to "Journey to the West", one of which is "Erlang God Locks Monkey King", which is probably a work in the early Ming Dynasty, before Wu.

If you can buy the "Manuscript of the Sun" [11], you want to use it as a more valuable material, but it will be very difficult to hear. Ming re-engraved Li Yong's "Suo Luo Tree Tablet" [12], originally was collected by the people of Sheyang Mountain, and his poems were bought with oil-stained cloud forest painting bamboo inscriptions [13], which seems to be quite good for rubbing bones.

The same bureau printed a treasure book about the research of "Pinhua", so I hope to see and borrow it.

Exegesis:

[1] The novel "Journey to the West", written by Wu Chengen in the Ming Dynasty, one hundred times. The materials of the author's deeds refer to the materials about Wu Chengen in books such as "Huai'an Mansion Chronicles", "Shanyang County Chronicles", Jiao Xun's "Drama Story", Ruan Kuisheng's "Chayu Hakka Words", and Wu Yuyun's "Shanyang Chronicles". Hu Shi has quoted it in "Journey to the West".

[2] "Shanyang Chronicles" by Wu Yuzhen of the Qing Dynasty. In the fourth volume of the book, it is mistakenly believed that Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West" is based on the "Journey to the West" of Changchun. Wu Shanfu, also known as Wu Yuyi (1698-1773), was a native of Shanyang (now Huai'an, Jiangsu).

(3) Changchun Zhenren "Journey to the West", written by Li Zhichang, a Taoist priest in the early Yuan Dynasty, two volumes. It recounts the experience of his teacher, Changchun Zhenren Qiu Chuji, who enlisted in the westward journey to Jin and Yuan Taizu and participated in military affairs.

Excerpts and comments on opera in books from the Tang and Song dynasties. The quoted "Tea Aftermath Hakka Words" can be found in the fifth volume of the same book.

[6] "Tea Yu Hakka Words" notebook novel, written by Ruan Kuisheng in the Qing Dynasty. It was originally 30 volumes, but the author could not print it during his lifetime, and Wang Xiqi printed it in 22 volumes in the 14th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1888). For the author of "Journey to the West", see volume 21 of the book. The Commercial Press edition is an abridged edition, consisting of only twelve volumes.

[7] "Xiaofang Huzhai Series" is "Xiaofang Huzhai Cong Banknotes", compiled by Wang Xiqi in the Qing Dynasty, four episodes, and 36 kinds of books. According to this series, it is not included in "Tea Aftermath Hakka Words".

[8] Wu Changling was a native of Datong (now Shanxi) and an opera artist in the Yuan Dynasty. He is the author of miscellaneous dramas "Dream of Dongpo" and "Tang Sanzang Xitian Scriptures" (now only two folds of lyrics) and so on. According to the author of the miscellaneous drama "Journey to the West", Yang Ne at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, was mostly mistaken for Wu Changling in the past.

(9) The alias of Wu Chengen, the author of "Journey to the West".

(10) Wang Guowei (1877-1927), known as Jing'an, was a native of Haining, Zhejiang, and a modern scholar. The "Qulu" is a bibliography of opera, a total of six volumes, among which the bibliography of "Journey to the West" roughly includes: "Collecting the Heart of the Ape and the Horse", "The Four Sages of Shizhen Lock the White Ape", "Erlang God Locks the Monkey King", "The Three Changes of the Fierce Nezha", "The Gods and Immortals Celebrate the Pan Tao Meeting" and so on.

[11] "Sheyang Manuscript" is "Mr. Sheyang's Manuscript", a collection of poems and essays written by Wu Chengen, a total of six volumes. Later, there was a copy from the Palace Museum in Beijing (July 1930).

[12] Li Yong (678--747) was a native of Jiangdu (now Jiangsu), a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, and once served as the Taishou of Beihai. "Suluo Tree Tablet", see the book "Li Beihai Collection".

[13] The original title of "Buying Oil Stained Yunlin Painting Bamboo with Oil Poems on Bamboo to Spread It", see "Mr. Sheyang's Manuscript", Volume 1. Yunlin, also known as Ni Zan (1301-1374), alias Yunlin Jushi, was a native of Wuxi and a painter of the Yuan Dynasty.

[14] The treasure book of "Pinhua" refers to the "Jingchen Miscellaneous Records" written by Yang Maojian (Zhangsheng) in the Qing Dynasty, and the lithograph of Guangxu Bingxu (1886) in Shanghai in midsummer. In the fourth volume of the book, "Menghua Trivial Book", it is recorded that Changzhou Chen Shaoyi wrote "Tasting Flowers and Treasures" in detail. "Tasting Flowers", referring to "Tasting Flowers and Treasures", a novel, written by Chen Sen in the Qing Dynasty, sixty times.

220821 to Mr. Hu Shishizhi: I borrowed many books from me before, and then I got letters. I've read the book roughly, and now I'm returning it, thank you.

The large draft [1] has been read, and it is very vigilant and happy! I would love to have it printed sooner rather than later, because this hint of history is better than many empty theories. However, the growth of the vernacular should always be based on the "New Youth" proposition, because the attitude is very fair, and those who used the vernacular to enter poetry and literature as a former writer always seem to feel that they have the same spirit as the use of "rare classics".

Now the draft has also been returned, and Li Boyuan [1] has been banked above.

The original "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness" was "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", which is easy to obtain in Beijing, and originally seemed to be a wooden treasure board [4], with a total of four sets of twenty-four copies. When asked about Beijingers, they only know "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", but southerners only see the revision of the old man Quyuan, which is honest.

"Journey to the West" excerpted from "Nashuying Music Score" [5] is no longer unimaginable original. "Sichun" in "Journey to the West", I don't know what it is. "Hui Hui" in "Tang Sanzang", it seems that Tang Sanzang went to Western Xia, and once he returned, he first made trouble and then took refuge, and there was no such thing in the romance. Only the "Journey to the West" in the addendum seems to be the closest to the romance, the heart ape and the horse, the flower and fruit mountain, and the tight spell, all of them. Although there is no romance in "Revealing the Bowl", the red child of the Flame Mountain immediately turned into this. Yang Zhangsheng's notes [6] once said that he acted in "Journey to the West", played the role of his daughter king, and acted in this play at the time of his death, or he can find the full song book now.

In "Journey to the West", there are two mentions of "Wuzhi Qi" [7] as a witch branch, and this story was prevalent in the Gai Yuan period, and those who wrote "Journey to the West" may also be affected by this incident. The root of this is found in the "Taiping Guangji", volume 467, "Li Tang" [8].
