宋玉年世行迹考

关于宋玉的年世行迹，早在上个世纪二三十年代，前辈学就作过考证，提出了一些极有创建性的观点，但由于当时疑古思潮的影响，他们的某些观点也带有一定的片面性。在走出疑古时代的今天，我们在前人研究的基础上，又重新研究探讨了这一问题，既承继前人正确的创建，又修正前人某些失误，更作出了我们自己的考辨；我们认为，宋玉，鄢人，生于公元前296年，公元前272年初入仕，历事楚襄王、考烈王两朝，并随楚都之迁徙，历经陈郢、巨阳、寿春等地，公元前237年楚幽王元年时失职，后赋闲于寿春一带十有余年，公元前224年，秦王翦灭楚时，曾避兵乱入古衡山，后又涉江南迁，约在公元前222年卒于今湖南临澧。

Textual Research on the Journey of Song Yu's Life

In 1920's and 1930's,elder scholars made textual research on the journey of Song Yu's life and raised some specially innovative and constructive views.But influenced by the thoughts of doubting ancientry at that time,some of their views were also unilateralism.Now,passing by the doubting ancientry time,we study and discuss this issue again on the basis of elders' research.We not only inherit from the elders' right innovation and construction,but also modify some elders' mistakes,even more work out our own textual research.We have drawn a conclusion.Song Yu,Yanman,was born in 296 BC.He became an official at the beginning of 272 BC,and worked for two dynaties of King Chuxiang and King Kaolie,with Chu moving its capital to Chenying,Juyang,Shouchun and other places.He lost his job in 237 BC,which was the first year of King Chuyou's reign.Later he was unemployed in Shouchun area over ten years.In 224 BC,when King of Qin,Wang Jian,destroyed Chu,he escaped to Mountain Guheng to avoid the warfare once.And later,he ferried the Yangtse River and moved to the South.About in 222 BC,he died in present Linli,Hunan province.
