2022-07-13董诗琪
摘 要 1924年,任中敏根据吴梅藏嘉靖四年初刻本、江南图书馆藏徽藩刻本抄校《词林摘艳》。在校勘过程中,任氏参考了《张小山联乐府》《陶情乐府》《太平乐府》《乐府新声》《北词广正谱》等十种书,对《词林摘艳》的作者、语句、曲律进行了详实的考证。1929年,张元济拟出版吴梅《奢摩他曲丛》三四集,收录任中敏的《词林摘艳》校勘记,后因涵芬楼大火,此事作罢,任氏所做的校勘工作也不再为人所知。任氏抄《词林摘艳》今藏广东省立中山图书馆,它对于了解任中敏在散曲方面所做的工作及研究《词林摘艳》的版本方面具有重要的价值。

The Research of Ren Zhongmin’s Manuscript Cilin Zhaiyan
Dong Shiqi
Abstract In 1924, Cilin Zhaiyan was proofread by Ren Zhongmin according to the first edition collected by Wu Mei and the Huifan edition collected by Jiangnan Library. In the process of collation, Professor Ren referenced more than a dozen Sanqu collections, including Zhang Xiaoshan Lian Yuefu, Taoqing Yuefu, Taiping Yuefu, Yuefu Xinsheng and Beici Guangzhengpu et al, in addition, the authors, sentences, and melodies were also researched in detail. In 1929, Zhang Yuanji planned to publish third and fourth episodes of Wu Mei's Shemota Collection, which included Ren Zhongmin’s collation notes. However, because of the fire in Hanfen Building, the plan of Zhang Yuanji was canceled and Ren’s collation work was no longer known by the public. Cilin Zhaiyan transcript was collected in Sun Yat-sen Library of Guangdong Province, which was significant in understanding Ren’s research work on Sanqu and the edition of Cilin Zhaiyan.

任訥(1897—1991),字中敏,号二北,别号半塘,江苏扬州人,中国近代史上著名的词曲理论家、敦煌学家。1918年任氏入北京大学学习,师从吴梅先生,从此开始进行曲律方面的研究。先后执教扬州中学、四川大学、扬州师范学院。1981年,被国务院批准为首批博士生导师,1991年12月13日,病逝于扬州。
王小盾在介绍任中敏的学术经历时,将其分为两个阶段,1918年至1931年,主要以散曲和词学研究为主。1950年后,任氏将学术兴趣转向敦煌歌辞和唐代文艺学[1]序3。任氏有关的论文或回忆录,常重在讨论建国之后他的学术经历,而建国之前的记载则相对较少。
笔者在广东省立中山图书馆得见一《词林摘艳》抄本(索书号:80/2.60.9),一函十册,全书墨笔抄写,有朱笔眉批104处,每页又有圈划校改痕记。首册卷首署“中敏手录 十三年立秋后九日”,第二册【佳人捧玉盘】套曲上有眉批“瞿师谓《乐府群玉》徒负盛名,而读求实不能惬意……二北词人”等语。
