《招魂》“屈原自招”说答友难

On the Argument of "Calling back the Spirit by Qu Yuan" in Zhaohun

《招魂》中对"故居生话"的描写,有极大的虚夸成分,在《离骚》中甚至有更为夸张的描写,不能认为与屈原身份不合;天帝所辅者,也可以是臣民;招魂方位的不同是由于不同的作品人物居于不同的方位造成的;《招魂》"序言"中"牵于俗而芜秽"有确切的解释;王逸所记"宋玉作《招魂》"并非定论。

There are some greathy exaggerating elements in the description of the former home life in Zhaohun, even more greatly in Lisao. It cannot be considered that it is not in comformity with Qu Yuan＇ s statics. The common people could also act as the assistants of the God. Different positions of the persons cause different positions of Zhaohun. There are definite explanations of ＂vulgarity causes dirty＂ in the foreword of Zhaohun. Wang Yi＇s view of Zhaohun written by Song Yu is not a definite conclusion.
