林云铭与《楚辞灯》

LIN YUNMING AND CHU CI DENG

清初林云铭,评注《楚辞》,著有《楚辞灯》一书。其评注重《史记》,并以屈注《屈》,务求《楚辞》本来面貌。又从文学的角度解读,大力疏通各篇文理脉络,以求其大旨。另外,其评注也有指摘前人讹误、另辟蹊径之处。林云铭引己为屈原同类,文中多代屈原而言之。其观点虽不能认为确乎无疑,亦自成一说,影响颇大。

Lin Yunming, who lived in the early Qing Dynasty, made commentary on Chu Ci and wrote the book of Chu Ci Deng. In order to revert the original appearance of Chu Ci, his commentary focuses on The Records of the Grand Historian, and annotated Chu Ci by Qu Yuan. His interpretation is also from a literary point and vigorously to clear the article context so that he could obtain the main purpose. In addition, he also pointed out the errors of predecessors and put forward unique views. Lin Yunming cited Qu Yuan as a confidant and spoke for him in the text. His views could not be considered indeed undoubted, but also self-contained, which had a significant impact.
