屈原世系考

Textual research of the lineage of Qu-yuan

鉴于屈氏世系与楚国族源、楚国君王的部分叠合又逐步分离的历史因素,在"源远流长"的框架内,本文力图寻求"点"的拓宽与突破。对出土文献、传统文献中的"屈氏"家族成员,全面梳理,全力考证,并进而考述昭、屈、景三姓渊源以及"与楚王同姓"的过程。通过研究得出四点结论:第一,屈氏在春秋、战国两个阶段均为大姓,历久不衰。第二,战国三大姓昭、屈、景均源于楚王族,"与楚同姓",昭氏源于楚昭王,屈氏源于楚武王,景氏源于楚平王。第三,屈氏家族成员往往执掌要职,建功立业,有较高社会威望;对楚国、对楚君恪守忠诚;娴于辞令,有理有节,有鲜明而强烈的传统与家风。第四,所谓屈原时代"屈氏势力较弱"的说法是错误的,事实上,屈氏家族在战国时代,尤其是楚怀王时期还是职务较高、势力较大、责任较重、人数较多的,其中屈匄、屈原、屈昜都是身负国家重要职务的屈氏成员。

In view of historical factors that the lineage of Qu has some overlap and phase separation with ethnic origin and kings of Chu, within the long-standing and well-established framework, to find the expandation and breakthrough of point. This paper gives a comprehensive combing and full textual research of family members of Qu which were mentioned in excavated documents and traditional literature. Adhere to the principles of no exaggeration, no reasoning, no hypothesis, no oblivion and having according to each sentence. Based on these to prove and narrate the process of origin of three important family names of Zhao, Qu and Jing to have the same surname with kings of Chu. Drawing four conclusions through the research： Firstly, Qu was a noble family name in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. Secondly, three noble surnames of Zhao, Qu and Jing in Warring States Period headed from imperial kinsmen of Chu. Zhao headed from King Zhao of Chu, Qu headed from King Wu of Chu, Jing headed from King Ping of Chu. Thirdly, family members of Qu were often in charge of important positions. They made contributions to their country, had higher social prestige, showed their loyalty to king and country. Besides, they all had communication, the wit, bright and strong family tradition. Fourthly, the claim that of the lineage of Qu was feeble in the period of Qu-yuan is wrong. In fact, family of Qu in Warring States period, especially in the period of King Huai of Chu, was in high position, powerful, having heavy duty. And many family members of Qu, such as Qu-gai, Qu-yuan and Qu-yang occupied important positions in Chu.
