项羽“乌江自刎”学术讨论综述

A Summary of Xiang Yu's Committing Suicide by the Wujiang River

项羽"乌江自刎",是汉代两大史学家司马迁和班固记录在《史记》、《汉书》中的实录,是特别用一大段文字记录的悲剧英雄谢幕,千百年来没有疑义。2007年2月,红学大家冯其庸先生在《中华文史论丛》发表《项羽不死于乌江考》,提出"项羽不死于乌江说",引发学术争议。由于冯文无"考"而借用"考证"之名造势,所生发出的学风问题已超出学术之外,引起了学术界的重视。2008年11月15日至18日,学术界在安徽和县召开了项羽学术讨论会,着重讨论了项羽"乌江自刎"的问题。这是数十年来不可多见的真正意义上的学术"论战"。文章对此作一阶段性的综述,为学术界的深入讨论提供信息资料,以飨对此关注的读者。

XiangYu＇committing suicide by the Wujiang River is a widely accepted story recorded in Sima Qian＇s ＂Records of the Historian＂ and Bangu ＂History of the Han Dynasty＂. In February 2007, Mr. Feng Qiyong, a well -known scholar wrote a paper indicating that Xiangyu did not die by the Wujiang River＂, hence arousing academic controversy. From November 15 to 18, 2008, a symposium was held in Hexian County, Anhui Province to provocate further discussion. By giving a summary of the discussion, my paper aims at providing some information to the readers.
