俞德邻籍贯考辨

Research on Yu Delin's Native Place

宋末元初文学家俞德邻之籍贯自清乾隆时始有永嘉(今浙江温州)与丹徒(今江苏镇江)之争。二说均未能以确凿之据来佐证自己观点无误,故双方所言不足以服人。钩稽史料可知:俞氏之子曾称其父为永嘉平阳人;与俞氏同时代的友人曾称俞氏为永嘉人;俞氏自己的诗文曾言己非吴郡人。由此可证明俞德邻之籍贯为今温州无疑。

Yu Delin was a literator in the late Song Dynasty and the early Yuan Dynasty. In the period of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing dynasty, the argument about Yu Delin＇s native place was put forward. Many scholars thought that Yu Delin＇s native place was in Yongjia （it is called Wenzhou now）, while other scholars thought that his native place was in Dantu （it is called Zhenjiang now）. Since there were no solid evidence contributed, these two views were not very convincing. There are many historical evidence available： Yu Delin＇s son once said that his father was from Pingyang of Yongjia; Yu Delin＇s friends once said that Yongjia was Yu Delin＇s native place and Yu Delin had mentioned in his poetry that Wujun （now it is called Jiangsu） was not his native place. According to the evidence mentioned above, it is a definite conclusion that the native place of Yu Delin is Wenzhou .
