《刘子》作者问题研究史论

Research on Historical Theory of the Author of Liu Zi

《刘子》作者,两《唐书》和郑樵《通志》皆著录为刘勰,从南宋开始出现作者分歧,或谓刘勰、或谓刘昼等人。今对历代学人研究历程和观点进行梳理,可以初步认为刘昼之说,可能是南宋时的一种伪说。从二十世纪八十年代开始,又出现学风之争,争论双方皆指责对方曲解资料,今将所有资料交给读者,让读者辨析到底是谁在断章取义、曲解资料。记载《刘子》刘勰著的两《唐志》资料来源凿凿有据,应该受到尊重,不必节外生枝,更不容许他人乱泼污水。学风问题,说到底是个公心问题、学德问题。

The author of“Liu Zi”is recorded as Liu Xie in the two“Tang Book”and“Tongzhi”written by Zheng Qiao.Since the Southern Song Dynasty,there has been a divergence of authors,or Liu Xie,or Liu Zhou,etc.By analyzing the research processes and views of scholars in previous dynasties,we can preliminarily believe that the theory that the author is Liu Zhou may be a false theory in the Southern Song Dynasty.Since the 1980s,there has been a debate about the style of study,with each side accusing the other of misinterpreting the data.Now all the data is given to the readers,and they are asked to identify who is taking the data out of context and misinterpreting it?Two“Tang Zhi”recorded that LiuXie is the author of“LiuZi”,its sources are solid and should be respected.There is no need to cause new complications.Splashing sewage on others is especially not allowed.In the final analysis,the style of study is a matter of public spirit and academic morality.
