恐以赝器校正史——章太炎先生题注清宫旧藏新莽嘉量全形拓片考

Research on Zhang Taiyan’s Caption on the Whole-frame Rubbing of Xinmangjialiang Stored by the Qing Palace

杭州章太炎纪念馆藏有一件清宫旧藏新莽嘉量铜器的全形拓片。章太炎在拓片上书大段关于"新莽嘉量"的考证文字,指出1924年紫禁城再次新发现的"新莽嘉量"有三处疑点,推断该器并非时人认为的新莽原物,而是后朝根据《隋·志》文献制作的仿制品,恐"以赝器校正史"。从这场关于新莽嘉量铜器鉴定讨论中,可探究章太炎源自乾嘉考据一脉,对金石文字的严谨态度。

This study has investigated into the whole-frame rubbing of Xinmangjialiang(a bronze standard measure ware)kept in Zhang Taiyan Memorial in Hangzhou.Zhang Taiyan’s captions can be seen on the rubbing,which revealed his doubts regarding the Xinmangjialiang discovered in 1924 in the Forbidden City.He mentioned three questionable points,inferring that this piece of work was not the original object in Xinmang Period but a fake one.There is a concern that this fake work would modify the correct historical record.The investigation shows his dedicated and rigorous scholarship of Qianjia textology in ancient inscriptions research.
