《曲洧旧闻》、《南窗纪谈》真伪辨

On the Authenticity of Memoires at Quwei and South Window Records

朱弁《曲洧旧闻》与徐度《南窗纪谈》是南宋初年两部著名的笔记,其中有12条内容相同,余嘉锡论定是《南窗纪谈》抄袭《曲洧旧闻》,今本《南窗纪谈》是伪作。本文经考证,提出相反的看法,确认是《曲洧旧闻》抄袭《南窗纪谈》,今十卷本《曲洧旧闻》内杂有许多伪作。

Memoires at Quwei(Quwei Jiuwen) by Zhu Bian and South Window Records(Nanchuang Jitan) by Xu Du are well-known biji works(literary sketches) in early Southern Song Dynasty.The two have twelve identical pieces of records.Yu Jiaxi determined that the latter plagiarized the former and the latter was written by somebody else.With a close examination,however,this paper draws a completely contrary conclusion and argues that the existing ten-volume Memoires at Wuwei contains many forgeries.
