毛奇齡〈季跪小品制文引〉一文所論，及葉夢珠《閱世編》「裨官野乘，悉為制義新編」語，黃強教授在其論文中皆曾加以引述、解讀。本文是對於黃文觀點的商榷。筆者認為「小品制文」的「小品」之意，並非等同於「晚明小品」，而是八股文中「小題」一類的別稱；季跪所作的「小品制文」也不是一本闡述《西遊記》意蘊、為小說作者或小說中人物立言的八股小品文集，而是一部以《四書》為題的八股小題文集。「原本經傳」是八股文寫作的理想，昔日不少士人都認為晚明文風大壞，對當時八股文寫作或雜以諸子百家，或兼用釋、老，深表不滿，葉夢珠所言亦是針對晚明以來，八股文義理不純、措辭用語泛濫無別擇的指斥。

In a previons article by Professor Huang Qiang, both Mao Qi-ling's preface to Xiaopin Zhiwen (written by Ji Gui) and Ye Meng-zhu's passage in Yueshibian (written by Ye Meng-zhu) are quoted. Huang's commentary and interpretation is discussed, deliberated, and debated by the present author in this article. Different from Huang's judgment, the author argues that "xiaopin", the literary term in Ji Gui's Xiaopin Zhiwen, is not the same as it appears in the essays in the Late-Ming Dynasty (called "wan-ming-xiaopin"), even though both are expressed with exactly identical Chinese term "xiaopin". In the views of the author, "xiaopin" is an alias of "xiaoti", which is one among several types of eight-legged essay. Ji Gui's Xiaopin Zhiwen is a collection of "xiaoti" which discuss the contents of the Four Books. Contrary to what Professor Huang has suggested, it has nothing to do with the Journey to the West. Furthermore, since the ideal goal of eight-legged essays was to expound the meanings of Confucian classics, what Ye Meng-zhu undertook in his Yueshibian was to criticize the new style of eight-legged essays that had become popular during the periods of late Ming and early Qing.
