王安石·《湖田疏》·“废湖为田”

在南京玄武湖的历史上,700年来一直记载王安石作《湖田疏》奏请将玄武湖"废湖为田",其实《湖田疏》是一篇伪作,王安石的"废湖为田"案是一桩历史冤案。     

王安石《日录》与《神宗实录》

《日录》是王安石在熙宁年间执政时私下记录的君臣奏对之语 ;在绍圣年间由蔡卞纳入史局用以重修《神宗实录》 ,从而得以流布于世 ,也成为新党“绍述”的重要凭据 ,对北宋后期政治影响甚大。宋徽宗即位不久 ,陈、杨时等对《日录》进行批判。他们的批判 ,对揭露蔡京一伙假绍述以行其私不无积极意义 ,同时也暴露了党争的面目。史家的李焘在《续资治通鉴长编》中大量征引《日录》进行补缺、考异 ,同时又完全赞同陈说法而大量征引。这就把《日录》推向了被审判的位子。南宋再次重修《神宗实录》 ,是站在元祐史官的立场上。元修《宋史》沿用重修的《日录》。     

宋人《睢阳五老图》考

北宋名臣杜衍及毕世长、朱贯、王涣、冯平,致仕后归老睢阳,晏集赋诗,时称“睢阳五老会”。当时名人欧阳修、范仲淹等18人曾依韵和诗,时人绘成“睢阳五老图”,钱明逸为之作序。其中宋元明清数十人为之题赞,可谓流传有绪。近代,图、序及十数人的跋被人分别卖到美国的3个博物馆中,50余家题跋则藏于上海博物馆。20世纪50年代即有关于此图的出版物和研究文章,但因自宋代以来多有摹本,致使研究者常常以此为彼;又因图、跋分藏海内外,使人不能尽览,妨碍了研究的深入。本文从此图的图、跋现状、相关的文献记载、作品的流传经过及摹本等方面加以辨析,对以往研究中涉及的此图绘成的时间、北宋人和诗与此图的关系、序跋言及的吏实、图作者的误传及序文改字等问题进行清理,力求对此图的进一步研究做一点基础工作。     

Ritual and Politics: An Examination of the 1072 Primal Ancestor Debate in the Northern Song

In considering the vital role played by imperial rites in claiming political legitimacy and maintaining social stability, Chinese emperors endeavored to present themselves as the perfect model for their subjects in terms of ritual performance. Focusing on a Northern Song (960–1127) ritual debate over the placement of imperial ancestors’ spirit tablets and ancestral chambers, especially that of the Primal Ancestor, this study aims to contribute to a better understanding of discussions on ancestral rituals and how they were intensified during the implementation of Wang Anshi’s New Policies. More importantly, this study reveals the differences between Song scholar-officials’ political positions and intellectual interests, thus providing a new interpretation of Song factionalism from the perspective of ritual politics.     

“元王诗”考索

自宋代以来,《汉书》所载元王诗多被人目为《鲁诗》,但其证据存在诸多疑点。因此,考察《元王诗》的归属是进一步地弄清汉代《诗经》传承版图的一个重要内容。本文从《元王诗》被看作《鲁诗》的过程出发,具体分析了《元王诗》非《鲁诗》的原因,并比对了刘向《诗》学观点与楚元王封地附近的汉代《诗》简,从而最终判定《元王诗》是汉代《诗经》传授中的独立一支,刘向所习主要是《元王诗》而非《鲁诗》。所以从刘向《诗》学中辑考的鲁诗也非《鲁诗》。     

河南南阳市八一路汉代画像石墓

2008年,对河南南阳市八一路一座画像石墓进行发掘。该墓为砖石混合砌筑,由墓道、墓门、前室和后室组成。前室两侧各有一耳室,后室为三室并列。画像石可辨画面的有33幅,图案有建鼓舞、应龙、白虎及执盾、拥彗人物等。墓内出土陶器、铜器和钱币等。该墓为王莽时期夫妇合葬墓,墓主应为地方官吏。     

略论嵇文甫的船山史论研究

嵇文甫先生是关注、研究王船山史论的老一辈学者之一。他一方面从历史哲学的高度看待其历史思想,将之概括为古今因革论、朝代兴亡论和华夷文野论;同时,对其史论中的史学方法论也予以总结。从方法上看,他注重由哲学而史学的分析,尝试在中国思想史和西方思想视野下对船山史论作比较考察。这两个方面,对于船山史论的进一步研究,多有启示和借鉴的意义。     

辛亥革命元勋王天培将军遗文

辛亥革命元勋贵州籍将领王天培,一生追随孙中山先生革命,笃信三民主义,由于性情直率,胸怀坦荡,遭到蒋介石、何应钦等人嫉妒,以＂莫须有＂罪名陷害,英年早逝。从他撰写的一些对联、讲话、题词、诗歌、信函等遗文里,不难看出王天培聪颖的才华,直率的性格,忠诚的思想,坦荡的胸怀,以及坚定的信念和高尚的气节,不愧是贵州人民的好儿女。     

Discovering Wang Yangming

The Ming dynasty Confucian philosopher Wang Yangming (1472–1529) has been the subject of a European and North American literature since at least the 18th century. But the rich history of writing about him in the West has been largely obscured by an English-language scholarship published in the 1960s and 1970s. This earlier literature nevertheless provides one window into the broader history of intellectual encounter between China and the West, shedding light on it from the angle of the discovery of one of late imperial China’s most influential scholar-officials. This article’s goal is to provide a history of writing about Wang Yangming in Europe and North America from the 17th century to 1950, demonstrating both how historical circumstances shaped his reception and interpretation, and that these earlier accounts shared valuable insights yet worthy of our attention today.     

郑绷王守仁表彰《古本大学》的表彰

郑珍《古本〈大学说〉序》描述了这样一个过程《大学》如何从古本到二程改本,到朱子章句,再到后世诸改本“纷纷益不可胜记”,以至成为笑柄。然见邻水甘秩斋《大学说》,不仅赞叹,以为虽“又一新异本”,实与王守仁《大学古本序》“大义复不相乖忤”。郑珍遂表彰王守仁“复古之功不可没”。守仁复古本之思萌自龙场,经多年思考和反复论证,于正德十三年刻《古本大学序》,正式公布了他表彰古本正当性的观点。
