墨子游楚鲁阳年代考--兼谈出土材料所见楚国县大夫与封君之称谓

Textual Research on the Time of Mozi’s Travel to Luyang of Chu State——With a Discussion on the titles of fief lords and county chiefs

关于墨子游于楚之鲁阳的具体年代,前辈学者有多种说法。本文通过对文献及楚简所见鲁阳文君身份及活动年代的认定,指出鲁阳文君并非鲁阳公,楚国县大夫与封君称谓有明显不同,然后结合对同时段发生的宋、郑"间邑"之争以及"郑人三世杀其父"年代的分别考订与相互比对,分析认为墨子约在公元前453年左右游于鲁阳,并阻止了鲁阳文君攻打郑国计划的实施。

There are several different views on the time ofMozi＇ s travel to Luyang of Chu State.With an analysis on the identity and the lifetime of Fief Lord Wen of Luyang that are recorded in excavated and historical materials, this paper suggests thatLord Wen of Luyang and Duke Luyang were not the same person, because the titles of them were distinct and different. The former refers to the fief lord, but the latter refers to the county＇ s chief. Therefore, based on a study on the time of the disputation on Jianyi （empty city） between Song State and Zheng State, as well as the time of＂The Zheng People Murder their Kings in three Generations＂, this paper concludes that Mozi travelled to Luyang in the year 453 B.C.E, and prevented Lord Chief Wen of Luyang from attacking Zheng State.
