从《千古文人侠客梦》看陈平原的史料考证

CHEN Pingyuan'Historical Textual Research in“Dream About Chivalry of Intellectuals”

文章着重介绍陈平原《千古文人侠客梦》一书中考证的关于"武侠"的一系列问题:"侠"的起源和发展,"游侠"之所以产生的原因等,引用一些学者的论述,指出书中史料考证存在疏漏的地方,包括"侠"与"武"的关系,侠客佩剑的原因以及"江湖"一词的来源。从陈平原的史料考证中可以看出其作为一代学者所具备的严谨的学术态度。但即使是这样一位知识渊博的大家,在考证中也难免出错,这为学术研究敲响了警钟,在研究过程中一定要秉持谦虚谨慎的态度,老老实实做学问。
