The Mystery of An Eulogium on My Humble Cabin:Re-discussion on the Author and the Related Controversy

传世名篇《陋室铭》的作者千年以来争讼不已。最早唐人颜真卿提到崔沔作《陋室铭》,而民间则流行刘禹锡作《陋室铭》说,南宋后期的《古文集成》首次把今传《陋室铭》文隶于刘禹锡名下,直到清代《古文观止》,刘禹锡作《陋室铭》说终于演为定论。事实是早在北宋前期,释智圆已对俗传予以了驳斥,同时刘昫、欧阳修等编史书时均未采信,只字未提刘禹锡作《陋室铭》,而且今存刘禹锡集诸刻本均不载《陋室铭》,足以说明刘禹锡说之不经。梳理作者纷争的起因及始末过程,结合崔沔的生平际遇,《陋室铭》当为崔沔所作,表现其"惟吾德馨"的儒者人生理想。
