清华简《系年》中的楚吴关系及其书写特征

Chu-Wu Relation in Light of Tsinghua Bamboo Slips Entitled Xi 'nian and Concerned Narrative Characters

清华简《系年》有多章内容涉及春秋晚期楚吴关系。通过梳理史事、与《左传》相对照,能够发现《系年》所记有可补《左传》之处,尤其是对于楚灵王南怀之行的效果评价,以及晋、吴两国是否曾有过联合攻打楚国方城的军事行动。它们记事和表述上的差异,体现出两书不同的叙述角度。而《系年》对楚吴关系的叙述和定位,可以看出楚国始终视吴国为属国的立场,以及"老"霸权体系对"新"霸权的排斥态度。

Xi’nian shed light on the Chu-Wu relation in the late Spring and Autumn Era,supplementing the existing Zuozhuan and Zuozhuan’s records about King Ling of Chu’s Nanhuai tour and the Fangcheng campaign in particular. The narrative differences existing between Xi’nian and Zuozhuan are worthy of furthered discussions. Xi’nian always regarded Wu as one of Chu’s dependent states,perfectly giving expression to the exclusive attitude an old hegemon assumed towards a new hegemon.
