刘古愚先生《〈顾命〉“天球河图”解》述评

Mr Liu Guyu's "Notes to the Celestial Sphere and the River Map

汉魏训诂学家释“天球”为“玉磬”，释“河图”为“八卦”，历代学者均予以认可。刘古愚先生通过大量的古代典籍论证认为“天球”为“天文”，“河图”为“地域”，使人眼界大开。本文就此作了述评。

Experts in critical interpretation of ancient texts in the period of Han and Wei interpreted the' celestial sphere' as a ' jadelike rock', and the ' river map' as the ' Eight Diagrams', with which all the scholarsthrough the ages agreed Mr Liu Guyu, however, with numerous proofs of classics, supposed that the former shouldbe 'astronomy'and the latter' tetritory', which was really an eye - opener and greatly widened the outlook of others.That is what this paper is about.
