(一)近观刘心武对《红楼梦》的研究论述,他提到了他研究《红楼梦》的两个基本方法:一是原型研究,二是文本细读。二百多年来,红学研究的文字可说是以亿万计,想要在前人研究基础上有所突破、创新,没有新的研究方法,没有对文本研究新的突破口,那只能是在做无效劳动,只能是对前人观点的再重复,最多不过是做一点无关紧要的修补。 (A) Close View on Liu Xinwu’s research on “Dream of the Red Chamber”, he mentioned two basic methods he studied in “Dream of the Red Chamber”: one is prototype research, the other is text reading. For more than two hundred years, the study of redology can be said to be hundreds of millions of words. If we want to make breakthroughs and innovations on the basis of previous studies, there is no new method of research and no new breakthrough in textual research. Doing ineffective labor can only be a repetition of the views of our predecessors, but at most, it does not make a trivial revision.
