再论署名林则徐的《西河郡林氏族谱序》

Rediscussion on Preface of Lin′s Genealogical Tree in Xihe County signed by Lin Zexu

陈培基先生贸然断定署名林则徐的《西河郡林氏族谱序》非林则徐所作,而是湖南常德金鸡堤三修、四修林氏族谱编纂者林丙荣所伪托。这只是一种大胆假设,很难令人信服。福建大量地方文献和闽西南林氏各支派族谱证明:林氏入汀始基祖林文德,即宋末宁化知县林公玉,而林文德极有可能即是林则徐家族公认的“玉融始祖”林高德。

Mr. Chen Peiji concluded that Preface of Lin＇s Genealogical Tree in Xihe County signed by Lin Zexu was not written by Lin Zexu, but Lin Bingrong, compiler from Jinji, Changde,Hunan province, who had revised the Lin＇s genealogical tree for three and four times.This is only bold hypothesis and unconvincing. Large quantities of local documents in Fujian province and Lin＇s sub-branch genealogical tree in southeast Fujian proved that the earliest ancestor Lin Wende entering Changting was the county magistrate of Ninghua in the late Song Dynasty Lin Gongyu. Lin Wende was very likely to be ＂Yu Rong First Ancestor＂ Lin Gaode recognized all by Lin Zexu＇s family.
