孔子弟子梁鳣生年考——兼论中国古代的“无子出妻”制

The Study of Confucius' Student Liang Zhan's Birth Age:Concurrently Discuss Chinese Ancient System of "Divorcing a Wife Because of No Son"

《史记.仲尼弟子列传》和《孔子家语.七十二弟子解》对孔子弟子梁鳣均有记载,但对其年龄的记述却存在分歧。通过对相关材料的分析可知,《家语》关于梁鳣"少孔子三十九岁"的说法更为可靠。《家语》中对梁鳣和商瞿"出妻"的记载表明,不仅两汉时期存在大量"无子出妻"的情形,在先秦时期也不鲜见。

There were records of the age of Confucius＇ student Liang Zhan in Shi Ji and Kong Zi Jia Yu , but they were inconsistent. By analysis of the materials, we can see the record of Kong Zi Jia Yu is more reliable. The record of Shang Qu and Liang Zhan once ＂divorcing their wives＂ show that not only in Han Dynasty but also in Pre-Qin period existed the phenomenon of ＂divorcing a wife because of no son＂.
