应当公正评价“平民刘邦”——评易中天先生新作“刘邦崛起之谜”

LIU Bang of Humble Birth Deserved a Fair Justice——Comments on Mr. YI Zhong-tian's New Works: The Enigma of LIU Bang's Rising

易中天先生品说平民刘邦为"流氓、无赖、不务正业,游手好闲,吃喝嫖赌……"是对历史人物不负责任的臆测。应该认真追寻相关词语在原著中的位置,比对历代注说,进而深入探求司马迁记述"微时刘邦"的良苦用心,以期公正客观评价"平民刘邦"。

Mr. YI Zhong--tian commented that LIU Bang, who had a humble birth, was a ＂rogue, rogue and a ruffian, not attending to one＇s proper duties and business, loafing, and frequenting brothels, gambling and drinking... ＂. That is an irresponsible guess to historical figures. The places in Records of the Grand Historian of related words should be earnestly traced, and comparison on the comments of past dynasties should be made. Furthermore, the paper probed SIMA Qian＇s great effort in noting LIU Bang＇s experience when he was a ordinary people, in hoping of a fair justice of LIU.
