“屈原故里”诸说梳理与简析

Review and Analysis of Various Statements of“Qu Yuan's Hometown”

最早记载屈原生平的《史记·屈原贾生列传》对屈原生地没有述及,为后人探索屈原生地留下争论空间。而且,后人混淆“屈原故里”与“屈原生地”的概念内涵,认为故里即生地,其实是混为一谈。至明清时期则争讼不断,特别近代以来,已出现十多种说法,可谓异说纷纭,莫衷一是。较早的说法认为屈原是秭归人,最早且明确记载屈原生地在秭归的历史文献是东晋袁山松的《宜都记》。

Historical Records:biographies of Qu Yuan and Jia Sheng(《史记·屈原贾生列传》),the earliest record of Quyuan's life,did not describe the birthplace of Qu Yuan,leaving space for later generations to explore.Moreover,later generations confused the concept of“Qu Yuan's hometown”and“Qu Yuan's birthplace”,believing that hometown was the birthplace,which is actually a confusion.In the Ming and Qing Dynasties,disputes continued,especially since modern times,there have been more than 10 kinds of statements.In earlier version,it was believed that Qu Yuan was born in Zigui,and the earliest historical document that clearly recorded Qu Yuan's birthplace,which was Zigui,was Yuan Shansong's Yidu Ji(《宜都记》)in East jin Dynasty.
