《康有为与黄节》当为《康有为与于式枚》考

Kang Youwei to Huang Jie should be Kang Youwei to Yu Shimei

《康有为全集》(2007)与《康有为往来书信集》(2012)中都收录有一封《康有为与黄节》(1920)的短笺,信件手稿现藏于台湾"中央研究院"近代史所。细读原文可知此信不是师叔康有为写给师侄黄节(字晦闻)的,"晦老""敬问""同年兄"的行文与康、黄二人在九江学派中的身份不符。结合康氏其他信件可知,"晦老"当指他的同辈于式枚(字晦若),"同年兄"为友人间的亲切称呼,并非同科得中或年龄相同。在相关考辨中,也连带校正《康有为往来书信集》中其他几处编注疏失。

The Complete Works of Kang Youwei (2007) and The Correspondence Collection of Kang Youwei (2012) both include a letter named Kang Youwei to Huang Jie (1920).The manuscript of this letter is now collected in Taiwan s “Academia Sinica” Institute of Modern History. Deeper understanding of the original text shows that this letter was not written by Kang Youwei to Huang Jie(“Hui Wen”), because appellations such as “Hui Lao”,“Jing Wen” and “Tong Nian” in the correspondence are inconsistent with the identities of Kang and Huang in Jiujiang School. Combining Kang s other letters, we can see that “Hui Lao” refers to his peer Yu Shimei(Hui Ruo) and “Tong Nian” is a friendly appellation among friends, which is not the same as peer from the same imperial examination or the one who is at the same age. In the related research and examination, several careless mistakes existing in the annotation of The Correspondence Collection of Kang Youwei are also corrected.
