《笛赋》为宋玉所作说

Song Yu and the authorship of Ode to the Flute

关于《笛赋》,自南宋章樵提出怀疑以来 ,古今学者多否认其为宋玉所作 ,并提出了种种理由。然而 ,前人的理由均有失考之嫌 ,没有一条能作为否定宋玉作《笛赋》的力证。同时 ,从《笛赋》的内容看 ,它反映了楚国灭亡时楚人的伤痛情感 ,又鉴于游国恩先生对宋玉生年的推测 ,楚亡时宋玉为七十四岁左右 ,具备创作《笛赋》的条件。所以 ,我们认为 ,在拿不出有力证据来否定宋玉作《笛赋》的情况下 ,应当认同古文献对《笛赋》的题名 ,承认《笛赋》为宋玉所作。

Ever since Zhang Qiao of the South Song Dynasty cast his doubt on the authorship of Ode to the Flue , many scholars deny Song Yu as the author of that essay. But so far no one has any convincing evidence. Ode to the Flute reveals the sorrows of the Chu people whose kingdom was destructed when Song Yu was seventy four years old. Therefore he was likely to write the essay, according to You Guoen. The author is of the opinion that without convincing evidence, Song Yu should be accredited with the authorship.
