摘　　要：20世纪二三十年代,疑古派学者提出层累地造成中国古史说,对传说时代的五帝史和夏史给予了全面否定,流波滔滔,至今未息。然细考文献,黄帝传说并非始于战国,早在西周即已出现,黄帝也不是层累造作的神话人物,而是中国上古时期部族共同体的一位杰出领袖。从最初的来源上说,黄帝传说是基于历史的真实而非想象的产物,只是历经几千年的沧桑岁月,历史本相不免失真走样,但其中蕴含着事实真相的果粒,不可一概视为虚妄而尽行弃之。可行的做法是精心鉴别这些传说性质的史料,去伪存真,考而后信,过滤出真实的历史信息,用于上古史的重建。充分结合文献和考古资料,深入探讨五帝时代中国早期文明形成的基因和路径,对于坚定文化自信,推动传统文化的创新和发展,无疑具有积极的意义。In the 1920s and 1930s,scholars of the Doubting Antiquity School proposed that“our traditional knowledge of Chinese antiquity was built up in successive strata,”thereby denying the history of the Five Emperors and the Xia Dynasty(c.2070 BC⁃1600 BC)during the legendary era.Their influence persists to this day.Contrary to their claims,a thorough examination of historical literature reveals that the legend of the Yellow Emperor did not originate in the Warring States Period(475 BC⁃221 BC),but can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty(1046 BC⁃771 BC).The Yellow Emperor was not a mythical figure constructed in successive strata over time,but a distinguished leader of ancient Chinese tribal communities.The legend of the Yellow Emperor is rooted in historical truths rather than purely imaginative constructs.Despite the distortions accumulated over millennia,the legend retains elements of historical accuracy.Therefore,it is crucial to meticulously scrutinize these legendary accounts,discerning and preserving the kernels of truth while discarding the fabrications.This approach allows for the extraction of genuine historical information necessary for reconstructing ancient history.It is of significant value to explore the early formation of Chinese civilization during the era of the Five Emperors through historical literature and archaeological evidence.Such exploration not only bolsters cultural self⁃confidence but also promotes the innovation and development of traditional culture.
