宋人对《文选》李善注、五臣注的评议

On Song Dynasty Scholars' Comments on Li Shan's and Wu Chen's Notes on WenXuan

自《文选》学史上的两种主要注本即李善注与五臣注问世后,对其优劣的评价一直没有间断。散见于宋代笔记等著作中的札记在评价两种注本时几乎众口一词地褒扬李善、抨击五臣,其对五臣注的评价多采用抓住一点不及其余的方式。通过对《文选》注释的详细比对发现,宋人的评价并非客观。宋代一般知识阶层中盛行的是五臣注,苏轼等人对李善注的褒扬,最终导致了《文选》合并本、单李善注本的刊刻问世。

Evaluations on the notes by Li Shan and Wu Chen on WenXuan have never stopped since these two annotations came out. According to the comments on them by scholars of Song dynasty, almost all of them blindly praised Li Shan＇s notes, but criticized Wu Chen＇s. The latter suffered severely partial. A detailed comparison of the annotations of WenXuan indicates that Song dynasty scholars＇ evaluations are not objective. In fact, Wu Chen＇s version was popular among the general intellectuals in Song dynasty. But Su Shi, who was regarded as an academic authority in Song dynasty,unilaterally commended Li Shan＇s version,thus resulting in the publication of the consolidated version and Li Shan＇s version of WenXuan annotations and Wu Chen＇s version being neglected at last.
