尧都平阳在临汾不在太原——对王尚义《太原建都已有4470年》一文的商榷

King YAO's Capital Was Located in Pingyang (today's Linfen), Not in Taiyan——A discussion about WANG Shang-yi's article "Taiyuan was once a capital of King YAO 4470 years ago

最近,王尚义撰文提出"太原建都已有4470年",他提出的数据是按传统文献的有关推测,运用算术中的加减法计算出来的,极不科学。他的关于"尧都在太原"的论据,没有认真检核历史文献,昧于临汾和平阳的建置沿革,又根本没有举出考古资料的证明,是错误的。尧都平阳在临汾不在太原,这已被大量的历史文献、考古资料和历史传说所证明。

Recently Mr. WANG Shang-yi wrote an article in which he drew a conclusion:4470 years before Taiyuan once was King YAO's capital. What he depends on is an arithmetic way of addition and substraction and refers only to the traditional documents, therefore, his research hasn't been very scientifically done. In WANG's arguments the fact of the historical documents were overlooked, as well as the organizational system, the course of change and development of Pingyang. His conclusion is lack of archaeological proof, as a matter of fact, King YAO's capital was Linfen, not Taiyuan.
