摘要
远古有巢氏,文献记载初见于《庄子》,汉唐学者多视之为历史人物,并且有所发挥。之后的学者,思考深入者则加以辨析或质疑,一般文人则接受之,甚者进行再发挥,典型的情况就是各地都有有巢氏的传闻与胜迹,形成内涵丰富的有巢文化现象,特别是在巢湖流域。有巢氏的提出,是早期学者对于远古时代的一个有价值的建构,符合历史发展的逻辑,为早期人们对于远古时代生活情形的理解与认识提供了帮助。有巢氏传说的演变还让我们认识到过去中国史学实际上有着两个传统,即一个是以儒家史学为代表的正史传统,它是中国史学的主体,史学史研究主要关注的是这一方面;中国还有一个以巫史、纬书、道书、野史等为代表的术士史学,传统史学史对此关注不多,但是它在民间的影响至巨,甚至在很大一部分知识分子中间也有市场,这是值得重视的。
The ancient Youehaoshi, firstly recorded in the"Zhuangzi', was regarded as a figure by the Han and Tang scholars and they had given many more interpretations. Later on, serious thinkers studied him, common persons of letters accepted the previous saying and even made up more stories about him. So many regions and localities, especially in the Chaohu lake region,have their Youchaoshi legends and historical sites, thus formed a rich cultural phenomenon about Youchaoshi. The story of Youehaoshi was an valuable construction of ancient society by ancient scholars and in accordance with logics in historical development, provided a help in understanding ancient life. Transformation of legends about Youchaoshi makes clear two traditions of Chinese historiography: one is the Confucian historiography represented by official record tradition, which is the main body and focus of Chinese historiography, another is unofficial historiography, including witch stories, latitude sayings, Taoist books, and private historian's writings, on the margin of Chinese historiography tradition, yet it had much influence in society, even among intellectuals.
