鬼谷子与纵横家初论

A Primary Discussion on Guiguzi and Political Strategists

关于鬼谷先生的身份,以《史记》的记载最早,其原型指向稷下学者。所谓“周秦诸子,皆自成一家学术”。目前为止,关于《鬼谷子》其书的研究成果,数量增加较为“可观”,其中版本考订、文献整理、白话翻译、推广普及类较多,甚至出现一些重复出版的产品。然“大约秦以上书,一字千金”,《鬼谷子》和“纵横家”的思想,实属战国一流派,可跻身于先秦诸子序列,其思想遗产应为中国传统文化的构成要素,更值得深入挖掘。

Historical Records was the first book to record Guiguzi’s identity,whose prototype referred to Jixia scholars.The so-called scholars of Zhou and Qin dynasties were all self-contained academics.So far the research of Guiguzi has reached a sizable quantity,and among them,edition revision,literature collation,vernacular translation and popularization are more common.There are even some repeated productions.“A single word in the book before Qin Dynasty is worth a thousand pieces of gold,” as the saying goes.Thoughts embodied in Guiguzi and political strategists belong to a thought school in Warring States Period and can ascend in the scale of Pre-Qin scholars.Their ideological heritage is the element to form the traditional Chinese culture,deserving deep exploration.
