吕祖谦编选《古文关键》质疑

OPPUGN Lu ZUQIAN COMPILED GU WEN GUAN JIAN

长期以来,《古文关键》一书都被认为是吕祖谦所编撰。本文以清徐树屏冠山堂刻本里所收无名氏的跋语为证,并通过对该书所选录的作家作品和其评论之间所存在的明显矛盾的分析,说明它很可能是先有人选录完毕,吕祖谦对之加以批论评点,再由南宋蔡文子作注而完成的,并指出弄清这问题的价值和意义。

For a long time, the book GU Wen Guan Jian (Crux of Ancient Prose) has been considered to be compi led by Lu Zuqian. Supported by the postscript from an anonymous writer collected in the block-printed edition of Guan Shan Tang by Xu Shuping in the Qing Dynasty, and by analyzing the evident inconsistency between the writers, works and comments excerpted in the book, this paper argues that the book Crux of Ancient Prose owes its initial work of excerption to an unknown person. Lu Zuqian made some comments on the book before Cai Wenzi made some annotations in the Southern Song Dynasty. Besides, this paper points out the significance of making clear such problems.
