《离骚传》还是《离骚傅》

Li Sao Zhuan or Li Sao Fu

汉武帝时,淮南王刘安奉命作的是《离骚传》还是《离骚傅(赋)》,历来颇有争议。班固《汉书》记载作《离骚传》,荀悦《汉纪》及高诱《淮南鸿烈解叙》则言为《离骚赋》,而王逸《楚辞章句叙》又说是《离骚经章句》。名为三而实为一,颇为复杂。在梳理前人之说的基础上,认为无更多证据时,《离骚传》题名为“传”更恰当。

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty,there has always been a dispute as to whether Liu An,king of Huainan,was instructed to write Li Sao Zhuan or Li Sao Fu.The Book of The Han Dynasty by Ban Gu recorded it as Li Sao Zhuan,Xun Yue's Han Record and Gao Yu's Narration of Huainan Honglie named it as Li Sao Fu,while Wang Yi's Chapter and Sentence Interpretation of Chu Ci described it as Classics of Li SAO.It's called in three different names and it's actually the same one,which is quite complicated.On the basis of sorting out the previous theories,it is more appropriate to title Li SAO as Zhuan when there is no more evidence.
