南高学派与现代疑古运动

Nangao School and Modern Movement of Challenging Ancient Scholars

南高学派与现代疑古运动的兴起关系密切。顾颉刚提出"层累地造成的中国古史"说后,钱玄同、刘掞藜、胡适、柳诒徵等人相继参与古史论战。胡适虽欲以《古史讨论的读后感》来为此次论战划下一个句点,但因其所论多意有所指,导致柳诒徵以《说文》谊例来批评顾颉刚。对于柳诒徵的批评,顾颉刚等人的反批评延迟了近2年。虽然南高学派并未对顾颉刚等人的反批评予以直接回应,但显然并不接受顾氏等人的批评,尤其是柳诒徵和缪凤林更是在1930和1940年代"侧面甩给‘古史辨’一枪"。此种缠结,无不说明南高学派的古史主张始终在警醒、匡正疑古学派的治学倾向。

Nangao School of Historical and Geographical Studies is closely related to the rise of modem Movement of Challenging Ancient Scholars. Gu Jiegang, Qian Xuantong, Liu Shanli, Hu Shi, Liu Yizheng and other scholars took an active part in the discussion of ancient Chinese history. In spite of Hu Shi＇s conclusion to this debate, other scholars still wrote defending themselves or negating others. Their writings all show that the propositions of the Nangao School were always reminding those challengers and correcting their research.
