论洪良品对阎若璩古文《尚书》辨伪的批判

On Hong Liangpin s Criticism of Yan Ruoqu s Forgery Identification in the Ancient Text The Book of Documents

晚清古文《尚书》辨真悍将洪良品对阎若璩的辨伪进行了批判:批判阎若璩“根柢”的舛讹,揭示了阎氏辨伪逻辑基点的谬误;批判阎若璩“枝节”的错讹,反映了阎氏在内容考证上的疏漏。洪良品的批判反映了他与阎若璩在“经典之真”观念上的差异:洪良品重经典“价值”之真,阎若璩重经典“历史”之真。这一批判也体现出阎氏的辨伪仍有商榷余地,对古籍真伪考订方法的运用必须限制在严格的条件之内才具有效力。

Hong Liangpin,a sharp ancient text scholar in the late Qing Dynasty,criticized Yan Ruoqu s identification of forgeries in The Book of Documents.He pointed out Yan Ruoqu s foundational mistakes,revealing the fallacy in Yan s logical starting point,and criticized Yan s mistakes in detailed textual research,which reflected Yan s oversights in content research.Hong Liangpin s criticism reflects the difference in the understanding of the“authenticity of the classics”between Hong and Yan:Hong Liangpin attaches importance to the“value authenticity”of classics while Yan Ruoqu emphasizes the“historical authenticity”of classics.This critique also shows that Yan s theory of forgery identification is still open to question,and the application of methods for the authentication of ancient texts must be limited to strict conditions in order to be effective.
