崔述的“考信之学”与“古史辨运动”

Cui Shu’s Textual Study and the Ku-shih-pien Movement

清儒崔述不仅是宋代之“怀疑精神”的传承者,还是“古史辨运动”的“导其源”者。在“古史辨运动”兴起之际,顾颉刚正是受到了崔述《考信录》的启发,才正式提出了“层累说”。之后,“古史辨运动”转向“古书辨”,张寿林、钱穆等“古史辨”派学人又从《洙泗考信录》以及《读风偶识》等著作中汲取了相应的学术资源,从而打破了“孔子作《易传》之说”以及“孔子删《诗》之说”。最后,“古史辨运动”又转回“古史辨”,顾颉刚又受到崔述《考信录》中“驳五德终始之说”的暗示,撰写了著名的《五德终始说下的政治和历史》。总之,崔述的“考信之学”是“古史辨运动”兴起与发展的重要本土学术资源之一。

Cui Shu is not only the inheritor of the skeptical spirit of the Song Dynasty, but also the leader of the movement of Ku-shih-pien (Discernment of Ancient History). Inspired by Cui Shu's A Compilation of Traditional Classics Criticisms, Ku Chieh-kang proposed the Layered Fabrications Theory at the rise of the movement of Ku-shih-pien. Influenced by Zhu Si Textual Research Record and Du Feng Ou Zhi , the school of Ku-shih-pien broke the perspectives formulated by Confucius in I Ching and the deletion made by Confucius in The Book of Songs after the movement of Kushih- pien shifted to Ku-shu-pien. Finally, hinted by A Compilation of Traditional Classics Criticisms , Ku Chieh-kang wrote Politics and History under the Theory of the Cyclic Revolution of Five Virtues . In a word, Cui Shu's Textual Study is the academic source of the movement of Ku-shih-pien.
