[摘要]金圣叹的评点本《西厢记》在中古文学史上占据着重要的地位,不仅在清代传盛不衰,产生了重大影响,而且此后的《西厢记》也都以此本为定本。这与该评点本的最为突出的特征——“精切”的品评方式是密切相关的,本文就将以此为中心来展开研究,从“精切”品评的内涵、在金评本中的具体体现、形成这种品评方式的原因这三个方面进行讨论,从而从中发掘出金圣叹在品评中所特有的心理过程和思维方式。

《西厢记》作于元代,自明“《西厢》热”以来,便评点蜂起,《西厢》版本的出版也达到了高潮。但自明末清初金圣叹批本《西厢记》出现之后,其他的版本便逐渐趋向沉寂。直到近代,吴樾还不无感慨地说:“今人只知有圣叹之《西厢》不知有毛西河之《西厢》。”(《茶香室续钞》)金批本之所以能在众批本中独占鳌头,其原因何在呢?笔者认为这与他深入细致的鉴赏及细密入微的评点特色有很大关系。有研究者指出“明清时代兴盛一时的评点之学,实际上是一种文学欣赏的形式,主旨在于审美鉴赏,其次才是文学批评。当然批评中有鉴赏,鉴赏中有批评,是审美鉴赏和文学批评之结合”。金批《西厢记》也正是如此。所以,为了更精确而又全面地描述“品”与“评”这两个方面所呈现出的特点,我撷取圣叹在《读<第六才子书西厢记>法》中所用的“精切”二字来对其加以概括并以此为中心进行探讨研究。
