扬之水《诗经》研究小议

Review of the Book of Songs Studies Made by Yang Zhishui

扬之水近年基于"名物新证"的《诗经》研究方法在学界产生了相当影响。由《诗经名物新证》《诗经别裁》两部著作,可以看出扬之水研究中继承的前人观点主要为"《诗经》反映社会背景""《国风》非出于民间"及"《诗经》内容与周代礼制息息相关"三点。在研究方法上,扬之水采用考古与文学的跨学科研究,但也并未忽视文学性考察,这是其研究长处所在,而其研究的主要问题则与过于零散琐碎、不成系统等"名物新证"方法本身存在的问题有关。

This essay mainly focuses on the new evidences to describe images and names of ancient staffs in The Books of Songs,in which Yang Zhishui has made a great progress in the academia in recent years. From the books New Evidence for Descriptions of Names in the Book of Songs and The Selection of Different Style Songs in The Book of Songs,we can find three new ideas that Yang inherited from the former study results. It also explains how archaeological method is used in the literature study. Yang did not neglect literary method. In the end,this essay argues that the main problem of Yang＇s research is associated with the scattered feature of archaeological method.
