《漢書·古今人表》“榮聲期”異名辯正

Research of Rongshengqi(榮聲期) in Hanshu Gujinrenbiao(《漢書·古今人表》)

榮啟期,歷代文獻中關於其事跡記録不多,相傳爲春秋時隱士。但對其名字的寫法,文獻中争議較多。《漢書·古今人表》載爲"榮聲期",顔師古注認爲當爲"榮啟期"。王肅注《孔子家語》中疑爲"榮益期"。清代學者認爲亦可能是"榮磬期"或"榮肇期"之誤。同時,學者還就"榮聲期""榮啟期""榮益期""榮磬期"及"榮肇期"等用字誤因展開激烈争論,總結出書體、聲近、形近、避諱等致誤原因。運用笔记、典故、出土文献、敦煌俗文献等對此問題進行再次辨析,可發現,"榮啟期"爲正名,"聲""肇""啟""益"等都是誤用,這些誤用,都存在原因。
