《诗经中所见秦初期社会状况》为抄袭吴良俶遗文考

On the Early Social Development of Qin State Based on the Songs of Qin in the Book of Songs Plagiarized from Wu Liangchu's Paper

吴良俶,湖南常宁人,生年不详,1943年卒于国立中正大学,其人其文,罕有知者。据目前所见资料,其遗著《诗经中所见秦之初期状况》一文乃是现代《诗经》研究史上最早的一篇以史学方法全面研究《诗经·秦风》的论文,也是秦文化早期研究史上的一篇重要文献。但是,这篇文章竟然为王迪纲所袭,更名为《诗经中所见秦初期社会状况》于吴良俶去世三年后发表。上述两文不仅有著作权之争,而且涉及《诗经》研究的现代转向问题,更关系到秦文化的早期研究史问题,因此不能不辨。资料表明,王迪纲很可能认识吴良俶并与其有交谊。这起匪夷所思的抄袭事件展现了民国学术史的某些侧面,亦堪为当今学界自镜。

Wu Liangchu, was born in Changning, Hunan Province, and died in 1943 at the National Chung Cheng University. Little is known of his life and works. According to current information we know, his thesis, On the Early Development of Qin State Based on the Songs of Qin in the Book of Songs, is the first comprehensive study using the methods of history about the Songs of Qin in the modern research history of The Book of Songs. Meanwhile, the paper is one of most important study of the early history of Qin culture. Unfortunately, three years after Wu Liangchu＇ s death, his paper was copied and published as another title, On the Early Social Development of Qin State Based on the Songs of Qin in the Book of Songs, by Wang Digang. The evidence suggests that Wang Digang is likely to know Wu Liangchu and they are friend. This shocking incident is indicative of the dark side of the academic history of the Republic of China.
