《远游》屈原作补说

An Excursus on Qu Yuan’s Writing YuanYou

王逸认为《远游》为屈原所作,后世楚辞学者多从之。清代胡濬源则认为此说非是。近现代学者或从王逸之说,或证成胡氏之说。胡濬源等否定王说的主要根据是认为春秋战国时的楚国不可能有道家神仙思想和黄老学说。近些年来,大量战国秦汉简帛文献出土并整理发表。这些出土文献证明,至春秋战国时期,楚国的思想文化已经发展到一定高度,儒家、墨家、道家、法家、阴阳家及黄老思想已广为流传。《远游》中有黄老神仙思想是符合当时楚国思想文化发展的现实的,是完全可以理解的,从思想层面否定屈原的《远游》著作权是不可信的。

Wang Yi thought the author of YuanYou was Qu Yuan.Most of the later scholars thought it was right.Hu Jun-yuan didn’t think so.Some modern scholars believed Wang’s opinion,others provided evidence for Hu’s.Hu Jun-yuan’s opinion was negating Wang’s.Hu’s main evidence was that it’s impossible to appear Taoist immortal thought and Huang Lao thought in Chu state during the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States Period.In recent years,a large number of bamboo slips and silk scripts from the Warring States period as well as the Qin and Han dynasties have been unearthed and published.These unearthed documents prove that by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period,Chu state’s ideology and culture had reached a certain height,Confucianism,Mohism,Daoism,Legalism,the Yin-Yang School and Huang Lao thought have been spread far and wide.YuanYou contains the immortal thought of Huang and Lao,which is in line with the reality of Chu state’s ideological and cultural development at that time.Those who negate YuanYou’s copyright from thought are untrustworthy.
