《国风》未必经过孔子编订

The Classic of Poetry is not certainly edited by Confucius

自汉代以来,学者普遍认为《诗经》是经过孔子整理并最终编订成书的。但是在先秦典籍和《诗经》文本中,均找不到孔子编订《国风》的证据:先秦典籍中未见孔子编订《国风》的记载,《国风》篇章未必经过孔子编选,《国风》的目录未必经过孔子编订,《国风》不大可能经过孔子的辑佚;却可以发现孔子编订过《雅》、《颂》的痕迹。后世对《国风》的编辑疑问很多,都是因为它未必经过孔子编订之故。

Since the Han Dynasty, scholars generally believed that The Classic of Poetry was both sorted out and eventually compiled and edited by Confucius. However, in the pre-Qin ancient records and The Classic of Poetry, there was no evidence indicating that Air was comfiled by Confucious： We can not find any records about Confucius comfiling Air in the pre-Qin ancient books. The sections and chapters of Air were not certainly selected and edited by Confucius. It may not be Confucius that compiled the catalogue of Air and it seemed impossible that Air was edited by Confucius. But the marks that showed they were compiled by Confucius could be found in Odes and Hymns. To some extent, the reason why descendants are confused about the compilation of Aids that Classic of Poetry may not be compiled by Confucius.
