《陋室铭》作者问题释证                                                   孙思旺

《陋室铭》虽不列于梦得文集传世刻本，但古今学人一向视为刘氏遗篇。自20世纪70年代以来，于北山、卞孝萱、吴小如等先生纷纷撰文，断为伪托，遂使其作者问题渐有演为公案之势。今考诸家之说，颇拾宋僧孤山智圆遗绪，以人品文风之好恶臆断真伪，殊不足取。所欲论者有三：其一，传世刘集可以为《陋室铭》提供一系列文本内证；其二，唐人的陋室之咏集中产生于刘禹锡的交游群体；其三，被辨伪者援以为据的唐观音寺界碑实系伪刻，抄撮村言俗语说并不成立。

A Textual Research of the Author of “On My Modest Room”                                       Sun Siwang

   Although the piece “On My Modest Room” was not listed in the extant edition of Liu Yuxi’s collected works, it had been regarded as being left by him. Since the 1970s, some scholars such as Yu Beishan, Bian Xiaoxuan, and Wu Xiaoru wrote articles to assert that the piece used the allonym of Liu, making the problem of its author a complicated case. Those statements just reiterate the opinion of the monk Zhiyuan in the Song Dynasty, which assumes authenticity according to one’s taste on personal character and style of writing. There are mainly three reasons for Liu Yuxi being the author: first, the extant edition of his collected works can provide series of internal evidences for the piece; second, the poems on the theme of “modest room” emerged in Liu’s circle of friends; third, the stele of Guanyin Temple of the Tang Dynasty being cited is fake, and the statement that the piece excerpted folk adages does not hold.
