屈原名平及相关问题考论

Verification of Qu Yuan's Naming and the Related Issues

东方朔以"平"为屈原之名。司马迁明确记载屈原名平,并有呼应。刘向明确记载屈原名平。王充认为屈原名平字原。王逸明确记载屈原名平,于此无刊刻传写错误。《文选》并非所有有字之作者均以字称,屈平即在有字不以字称而称名之列,《文选》五臣注空疏荒陋,不足为据。《卜居》、《渔父》开篇言"屈原既放",篇中反复出现"屈原曰"字样,此为屈原赋之文体性质所决定,此不能作为《卜居》、《渔父》非屈原所作之根据。《卜居》之作者为屈原,《卜居》当作于怀王十八年,具体时间当在该年屈原使齐之前,作地当为郢。《渔父》之作者为屈原,当作于屈原自沉前不久,作地当在江南。

Dongfang Shuo recorded that the given name of Qu Yuan was Ping, which was also echoed in the works of Sima Qian and Liu Xiang. Wang Chong took Yuan as the courtesy name of Qu Yuan, and Ping, the given name. Wang Yi definitely noted that the given name of Qu Yuan was Ping. From then on, there were no printing errors on this issue. Considering Anthology, there is no stylistic rule that all articles anthologized should be attributed to their authors in courtesy name. In this case, Qu Yuan is one of the exceptions. The Five - Officials＇ - Annotation of Anthology is absurd, meager, phrase - mongering and preposterous so that it cannot be taken as evidence. In Divination and Fisherman, the initial statement that ＂Quyuan was sent into exile＂ and the repeated sentence that ＂Qu Yuan said＂ in many paragraphs are actually the genre of Qu Yuan＇ s poems, which can not be taken as the evidence to deny Qu Yuan as the author of these two poems. In fact, Divination was written by Quyuan in a place named Ying in the 18th year under the reign of King Huai of the Chu Kingdom, which had happened before he was appointed to Qi Kingdom in the same year. Fisherman was written in the region south of Yangtze River nearly to his suicide day.
