舜帝葬所新考辨——兼谈钱穆先生《苍梧九疑零陵地望考》

Newly Investigation of the Emperor of SHUN’s(舜)Burring Place ——A concurrent Discussion of Mr. QIAN Mu’s(钱穆)“Study of Cangwu(苍梧) & Jiuyi(九疑)& Lingling(零陵) Area”

舜帝葬苍梧之山九疑,是为零陵,本为史家所公认。钱穆先生却撰文说舜葬在湖北西北部汉水流域,从而引起争论。鸣条、苍梧一般说来是一个区域性地名。舜帝南巡,崩于苍梧之野,葬于江南九疑确凿无疑。舜帝是中华道德文明的开创者,孔子是道德文明的集大成者和传承者,各地建庙祭祀舜帝和孔子,显示出中华政治伦理之重要特征。事实证明,舜帝陵只有一座,而舜庙很多,这正如孔庙只有一座,而文庙很多一样。

SHUN(舜)emperor was buried in Jiuyi(九疑) mountain of Cangwu(苍梧), called Lingling(零陵), and was originally acknowledged generally by the historians. But the solemn gentleman QIAN Mu(钱穆)composed that SHUN emperor buries in the river Han basin in the northwestern part of Hubei, which brings about a lot of controversy. Generally speaking, Mingdi and Cangwu are regional names of place. When patrolling south, SHUN emperor died in the wild country of Cangwu, so it is conclusive that he was buried in Jiuyi of south. SHUN emperor is the initiator of Chinese moral civilization; Confucius is the comprehensive success and inheritor of moral civilization. Everywhere builds temples offer sacrifices to SHUN emperor and Confucius, demonstrate China political important characteristic of ethics. The fact proving, there is only one grave of SHUN emperor but there are many SHUN temples. Just like there is only one “Confucian Temple”, but there are many Confucian temples.
