英藏敦煌写本《孔子家语》的初步研究

A Preliminary Study of the Dunhuang Text of Kongzi Jiayu in the British Museum

敦煌写本《孔子家语》的“十”卷并非“七”卷之误,它说明早期《孔子家语》的分卷与方法与今本不同,很可能就是二十一卷。但就文字、内容及注文来看,敦煌写本与今本基本相同,差别并不大,这说明《孔子家语》在唐以后的流传形态是基本稳定的,并不存在结构性创伤,所谓“唐本”与“宋本”的区分并没有多少实际意义。

The Dunhuang text of Kongzi Jiayu (Confucian Family Talks) in the British Museum is the tenth, not the seventh, fascicle (juan), indicating that the text was divided differently in the early Ming dynasty from its modern text divisions, and that it possibly comprised 21 juan in all. However, the language, content and notes reveal that the Dunhuang manuscript is essentially the same as the modern text, with few differences. This makes it clear that the transmission of Kongzi Jiayu prior to the Tang dynasty was essentially stable, and there was no loss in textual structure. The distinction between the so-called Tang and Song dynasty texts has little significance.
