顾颉刚:新中国建立后的学术定位及其最后遗憾

GU JIEGANG(顾颉刚):HIS ORIENTATION OF LEARNING AFTER THE FOUNDATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA AND HIS LAST REGRET

顾颉刚先生创建“古史辨派”,从20到40年代经历了由实验主义到今文家言,由经学到史料学,再由史料学到神话学的转变过程。新中国建立以后虽然作为学术主流的“古史辨派”已经消失,但顾颉刚个人的疑古辨伪方向始终未变。从中国考古学的角度观察,顾颉刚对考古学的过于熟知,导致了他对考古学的冷漠态度,并最终导致了他古史研究的重要缺憾。

The School of ＂Discussion in Ancient Chinese History＂ （ 《古史辨》 ）, created by Gu Jiegang （ 顾颉刚 ） has undergone the transformation from experimentalism to Jinwenjia school （ 今文经学）, and from Confucianism to Historiography, and then to Mythology from 1920s to 1940s. Although, Gu＇s schools have not been one of the mainstreams of learning since 1949, his advocation in ＂doubting about the past finding and discerning the false from the genuine＂ has never changed. Observing from the point of archaeology, Gu＇s proficiency in archaeology results in his indifferent attitude towards archaeology and finally leads to the imperfectation in his research on the ancient history.
