讀俞樾《諸子平議·商君書》記

A Study of Yu Yue’s Views of the Shangjun shu in His Zhuzi pingyi

德清俞樾(1821—1907),字蔭甫,號曲園,晚清樸學大家,徐世昌(1855—1939)《清儒學案·曲園學案》曰:'曲園之學,以高郵王氏爲宗。發明故訓,是正文字,而務爲廣博,旁及百家,著述閎富,同、光之間,蔚然爲東南大師。'《諸子平議》一書,是俞樾的代表作,可説是子學訓釋的鉅著。此書仿效王念孫(1744—1832)《讀書雜志》而補其未及,識力之精,涉獵之廣,爲《雜志》之後,從事子學者不可或缺的典籍。然而,智者千慮,容或有失,今就俞氏《諸子平議·商君書》部分,舉其精到見解,檢其可議之處,略陳己見,以明是書之得失。

Yu Yue(1821-1907)was a distinguished scholar of the Qing dynasty(1644-1911),whose tremendous achievements in the study of the Chinese classics and philology have been greatly respected up to the present time.His Remarks on the Book of Lord Shang(Shangjun shu pingyi)has long remained an essential reference for Chinese philologists and philosophers.Although the book contains comprehensive and meticulous analyses,there are also several inaccuracies.The present study is an attempt to evaluate the successes and flaws of Yu’s book.
