1923年以来的“石鼓文”研究述要

A Review of the Studies on the Stone Drums since 1923

马衡在1923年发表的《石鼓为秦刻石考》揭开了“石鼓文”研究的新帷幕。自是迄今的“石鼓文”研究可分为三个阶段:“新学初盛”(1923-1949)、“相对沉寂”(1950-1979)、“全面发展”(1980-2005)。三个时期的研究各有特色,而以对石鼓年代的争论贯穿始终。目前对石鼓文的文学研究明显薄弱;宏观考察的力度也很不足;树立实事求是的良好学风也是当前“石鼓文”研究界必须正视的问题。

The article, The Stone Drums Were Carved in the Qin by Ma Heng m 1923, is a symbol o.f the new beginning of the study on the stone drums. The research history of the stone drums from that time to the present can be simply divided into several stages, namely, the stage of new beginning （1923-1949）, the stage of relative quietness （1950-1979）, and the stage of overall development （1980-2005）. The studies of all the stages have their own characteristics respectively and have the same argument as to which is the age of the stone drums. Obviously, the present study of the literature of the stone drums is far from sufficient. Now we must adhere to the principle of seeking truth from fact, and carry out a practical and realistic study of the stone drums.
