《孔丛子》作者与成书考论(上)

Authors and Compilation of Kong Cong Zi( 孔丛子)( the First Half Part)

《孔丛子》书题之"丛"当作"藂"。其前二十一篇当草创于孔鲋,在其卒时,即公元前208年左右已大致撰成。大约在汉景帝三年,即公元前154年之前,孔鲋所作或许以全书,或许以单篇形式面世。嗣后,孔腾、孔藂、孔臧有所增补。孔臧变动《小尔雅》诸篇位次,编定成书,并以父名"孔藂(丛)"为书题。陈梦家先生"东晋成书"与"四点刺谬"之说有误。《后汉书·孔僖传》袭用《连丛子》下,但二者又互为补正。《连丛子》上、下篇的撰写与编纂,均出自孔季彦,在其卒年,即延光三年(124年)之前已大致完成。其族人仲渊孔扶有所增补,并将《连丛子》附于《孔丛子》二十一篇之后。合二而一的《孔丛子》一书,于东汉延光三年(124年)至建宁三年(170年)之间面世。

The character "丛"in the title of Kong Cong Zi(孔丛子) should be "藂". The first 21 articles were initially written by Kong Fu and might be finished around 208 B. C. In about the 3 rd year of Emperor Jing of Han,namely before 154 B. C,the book had been published as a whole or in pieces of articles. After that,Kong Teng,Kong Cong and Kong Zang made supplement to it. Kong Zang compiled the book by changing the order of the articles in Xiao Er Ya(小尔雅) and titled it with the name of his father. Cheng Mengjia’ s conclusions that the book was finished in the Eastern Jin Dynasty( 317-420) and the concept of "four conflicts"are wrong. Kong Xi’s Biography in Book of the Later Han took over the second half of Lian Cong Zi( 连丛子),while they supplemented and corrected each other. The first and second half part of Lian Cong Zi( 连丛子) were both written and compiled by Kong Jiyan and were roughly finished before the 3 rd year of the Yanguang Period(124). The clansman Kong Fu supplemented the book and put Lian Cong Zi(连丛子) after the 21 articles of Kong Cong Zi( 孔丛子) . The combined Kong Cong Zi( 孔丛子) was published finally between the 3 rd year of Yanguang Period( 124) and the 3 rd year of Jianning Period(170).
