| The Ming novel the Alamo roughly can be separated into two systems: the first onewhich has sixty chapters was the early version and was existed in the following Ming editions;there are Huang Ming Kai Yun Alamo, Huang Ming Alamo and the Heroic Alamo. The secondone which concludes eighty chapters we now can be read was the Ming edition called Yun HeQi Zong. Later editions after Ming dynasty were all based on this edition. Presently theresearch related to the sixty-chapters-Alamo which governing from punctuation and collationand sorting out the logic relationship between those different editions, and the evolutionbetween the above two editions still has quite a few considerable questions. The research thataims at figuring out the early stage of the Alamo and the following evolution should nodoubtfully built on the text proofreading for the reliable editions, because only throughmeticulous comparison and emendation on inner system of the same edition can we get amuch more objective conclusion. However, no research work can be finding so far. The thesisis mainly about punctuation and collation, analyze the logic relationship between the twoeditions and clarify the evolution process between the two different editions. Meanwhile,through the comparison of the context between the two systems, the thesis aims atdistinguishing the difference between the contents. The research work can not only resulted arelatively preferable edition of the Alamo with sixty chapters but also through the collectionand research, the readers can have a better understanding of the early written stage of thenovel the Alamo. Above all, clarify the evolution relations between the two editions is also avital problem in discussing the writer of the Alamo. |
