本文以康熙時期六部書籍《尺牘新語》、《三婦合評牡丹亭》、《桃花扇》、《虞初新志》、《幽夢影》、《女仙外史》為例，對六部書的評點作分析，指出康熙時期讀者小圈子（小眾讀者）的特殊現象，全文穿梭在寫作、讀者、社會之間，闡釋其中隱含的文化脈絡。文中從郵驛、對話、傳抄、出版、劇場等具體的傳播現象出發，觀察讀者群體的生態與活動，討論評點如多人共評、對話，甚至參與文本寫作，形成某種後設書寫的新文本等現象。這個觀察既有助於讀者研究，也有助於解釋新文本的產生，提供後設戲劇（如《桃花扇》）、後設小說（如《女仙外史》、《聊齋》）、可供改寫的文本（如《幽夢影》）一個新的研究視角。這個文本和閱讀的分析，最終導向的是某種文化研究，涉及商業品味、性別、文化想像、文學聲譽、歷史與政治、贊助關係等互文交織的領域，引出許多後續研究的可能性。

　　　　　This paper takes the Ch'ih-tu hsin-yu, San-fu ho-p'ing Mu-tan t'ing, T'ao-hua shan, Yu-ch'u hsin-chih, You-meng-ying, and Nu-hsien wai-shih of the K'ang-hsi period as examples, to examine the comments on them. This paper points out some special phenomena seen concerning little circles of readers during the K'ang-hsi period. This paper ponders upon the relationship among writing, reader and the society and exposits the hidden cultural context. From concrete phenomena in the act of communication such as mailing, dialogue, copying, publication, and opera, this paper observes the situations and activities of the community of readers. It discusses how forms of critical commentary, such as multi-lateral commentary, dialogue, and even the writing of texts, constitutes such phenomena as a new textuality with a certain kind of meta-level writing. Such observation assists researches of the reader and helps explain the production of new texts. It also provides new perspectives in the study of meta-opera (e.g., T'ao-hua shan), meta-novel (e.g., Nu-hsien wai-shih and Liao-chai), and revisable text (e.g., You-meng-ying). This analysis of the texts and their reading ultimately lead to a kind of cultural study, which touches upon the interwoven areas of commercial taste, gender, cultural imagination, literary reputation, history and politics, and finally the relation of financial support. Thus it can bring out the possibilities for subsequent research into many of these areas.
