不应被树立的真相——论顾颉刚“不立一真”口号下对历史本体的搁置

Certain Truth That Should Not Be Built——On the Laying aside of Historical Noumenon under Ku Chieh-kang's Slogan "Not to Establish One Certain Truth"

通过对中国上古史研究的反思,顾颉刚提出"不立一真,唯穷流变"的历史研究理念。对"立一真"这一治史思路的批判构成了顾颉刚史学的基本特征和逻辑出发点。顾颉刚史学思想中的四个重要内容:中国上古史学说大多为有意造伪、研究古史的故事化取向、历史演进的研究方法、化史实研究为思想史研究,都和"不立一真"有着密不可分的联系。

In his research of ancient Chinese history, Ku Chieh-kang instituted a basic rule as ＂not to establish one certain truth, only pursuing its changes＂. And the critique on ＂establishing one certain truth＂ constructed the basic characteristics and logical foundation of his historical research. There were four thoughts permeated in Ku＇s historical career which have consanguineous relation with ＂not to establish one certain truth＂： the manufacturing of ancient Chinese history was premeditative, purposive and had its own theory; ancient history and story should be studied with same methods; documents about one specific story should be ranged by their written age, and we can find out the times spirit beyond them through researching their differences not the certain truth but thoughts history should be taken as the main object in ancient Chinese history research.
