简帛佚籍的发现与重写中国古代学术史

The Discoveries of Bamboo Slips and Silks for Writing and Missing Ancient Books and the Rewriting of Ancient Chinese Academic History

1970年代以来,大批简帛书籍的陆续出土,为丰富和重写中国古代学术史提供了资料与条件,促使我们对中国古代学术史进行重新思考、重新认识和重新评价。简帛佚籍的发现对于重写中国古代学术史的意义主要体现在以下几个方面:第一,可使一些古书的可信性得到基本认可;第二,可使一些古籍的属性和成书时代得到大致的确认;第三,可使许多学术著作的价值得到新的、进一步的认识;第四,可对古代时期的学术源流作出新的判断;第五,可以重新为战国时期某一诸侯国进行学术史定位。在中国历史上,新学问的产生都源于新发现,"重写学术史"正是随着考古发现的增多而提出来的。我们正处在一个不断有大发现和新发现的时代,面对更新、更多、更重要的历史典籍的出土,中国古代学术史已有条件得到重新书写,中国传统文化研究很可能要出现新的繁荣局面。
