钱穆《刘向歆父子年谱》与现代疑古运动

A Chronicle of the Life of Liu Xiang and Liu Xin,Father and Son by Qianmu and the Modern Movement Challenging the Ancient Scholars

钱穆的《刘向歆父子年谱》撰于 192 6年 ,是针对康氏之《新学伪经考》而发 ,而其旨归 ,则是对现代疑古思潮之诘难。在《年谱》中 ,钱穆以大量无可辩驳的史实批驳了上至康有为、廖平 ,下迄顾颉刚、钱玄同等人论述的牵强武断。《年谱》的学术意义对于我们今天重新认识两汉的今古文经之争具有重要的理论启迪意义 ,而它在当时的学术现实意义尤其值得重视。

A Chronicle of the Life of Liu Xiang and Liu Xin,Father and Son,written by Qianmu in 1926, was aimed squarely at Kang Youwei's New Textual Criticism of the Ancient Ideas and it questioned the modern thoughts of the movement challenging the ancient scholars. In the book, Qianmu, listing lots of historical evidence, criticized and refuted the farfetched comments made by scholars like Kang You-wei, Liaoping, Gu Jiegang and Qian Xuantong. The academic value of A Chronicle of the Life of Liu Xiang and Liu Xin,Father and Son is of great significance to the understanding of the arguments on ancient works in the West and East Han Dynasties. Its realistic importance at that time merits great attention.
