本論文著重在《西樓記》與《西廂記》之關係的論述，兼論及與《牡丹亭》的比較，以及對大陸學者陳多的幾點看法，提出一己的另解，得到的結論是，《西樓記》從其故事淵源、情節安排與筆法、故事流傳衍生的傳說等等，無不有《西廂記》的影子，可說是戲曲史上極為奇妙的「隔代」遺傳！《西樓記》與《牡丹亭》聯想在一塊的原因，除皆言「情」之外，還有「夢」，以及男女皆由生而死，由死而復生，但兩人其實都只是休克、暈厥，並未真正死去，如此，自然無所謂「死可以生」，更無起死回生的奮鬥過程，當然就遠遠不及《牡丹亭》了。至於大陸學者陳多所提三點：《牡丹亭．驚夢》和《西樓記．錯夢》可稱為明傳奇中寫夢的雙璧；《西樓記》較《西廂記》、《牡丹亭》有所前進之處，在於男女相悅不是非常講求才貌相稱；〈巧逅〉一齣，胥長公手刃池同、趙伯將，為于鵑報仇之舉，有三點可議。經本論文論辯之後，筆者認為《西樓記．錯夢》與《西廂記．草橋驚夢》亦可相比，且更能突顯〈錯夢〉之「幻」。《西樓記》之男女相悅的同時，也是講求才貌相稱的。胥長公手刃池同、趙伯將一事，若從以惡人之由生步向死，大有反襯生旦生死盟誓、起死回生之相逆發展，未嘗不好！除以上，最後則有針對輕鴻之死，提出「徐夫人匕首」用典之說，或可供思考。這篇論文，採取特別的觀點切入，希冀對古代的作品研究，起到些微補論的效果！

This paper focuses on the discussion of the ＂Xi Lou Ji＂ and ＂The West Chamber＂ of the relationship, compare with ＂The Peony Pavilion＂. ＂Xi Lou Ji＂, its origin story, the plot and strokes, the story spread legends derivatives, etc., all have ＂The West Chamber＂ shadow, can be said that the history of opera is very wonderful, ＂Genetic generation interval＂. ＂Xi Lou Ji＂ and ＂The Peony Pavilion＂ of Similarities, in addition to ＂Love＂ and ＂Dream＂, as well as men and women chosen by the students died from the dead, but they are actually just shock, syncope, did not really die, so, naturally indifferent ＂death can generate＂, but no life-giving process of struggle, of course, far less than the ＂The Peony Pavilion＂. As mentioned three issues Chen, Duo said more front. In this paper, one by one to refute. This paper, taking particular views, hoping the study of ancient works, to have some additional effects.
