涂山考源

Different Views on the Tu Morntain

禹的一生 ,与涂山颇有缘——据传 ,他曾娶于涂山 ,又曾大会诸侯于涂山。文献于“涂山之会”外 ,又有“会稽之会”一说。事实上 ,二者是一回事 ,“会稽之会”本不存在 ,是作为“禹之苗裔”的越人的善意创制 ;“娶于涂山”与“会于涂山”之“涂山”,是同一个地方 ,不应该是两个不同的处所 ;茫茫禹迹 ,涂山何在 ?本文在比较诸说长短得失的基础上 ,认为还是杜预的“在寿春东北”得之 ,并予新的论证。

All his life Yu had an affinity with the Tu Mountain It was said that he had married and met the dukes there There are “Meeting at the Tu Mountain” and “Meeting at the Huiji” existing in the documents In fact, both meetings mean one and the same thing The “Meeting at Huiji” is nothing but a kind creation by the Yue People who were called “the Miao Descendent of Yu” whereas the two Tu Mountains in “Married at the Tu Mountain” and “Meeting at the Tu Mountain” refer to the same place Then, where is the Tu Mountain that had covered Yu's indistinct footprint? On the basis of making a comparison between the strength and weakness of many different views Thesis confirms that the mountain is at the “northeast of Shou Chun” as Du Yu had believed, and supplies a new demonstration of views
