摘　　要：近几年音韵学研究中发生了两次争论:一是《切韵》的性质,是杂凑还是代表实际语音;一是上古音构拟如何进行,要不要用非汉语的资料。否定《切韵》等韵书代表实际语音,表面上是否定“高本汉派”,实际是全盘否定中国传统音韵学。上古音构拟要不要用非汉语资料,是由所研究的古音系统的时代和研究目的、性质决定的;为了建立史前的汉藏语系,自然要用,为了读经、构拟有丰富文献资料时代的《诗经》音系,很难用它。混淆研究的性质、目的,从而否定乾嘉诸儒(段玉裁除外),以至“章黄学派”和王力等,令人吃惊。自号“主流”排斥他人是不当的。何不分清研究的性质、目的,各自客观地研究,避免无谓的指摘！In recent years two debates took place in the study of Chinese phonology. One is on the nature of Qieyun(切韵): whether it is compound or it reflects the actual phonetics, the other is how to reconstruct the archaic phonology and whether to use the non -Chinese corpus. It seemingly looks that to deny the rhyme books, Qieyun and so on, which reflects the actual phonetics is to negate 'the school of B. Karlgren', but in fact it means the total repudiation of Chinese traditional phonology. Whether to use non-Chinese corpus or not when we reconstruct the archaic phonology, it is up to the era of the phonetic system studied, and purpose and nature of the study. It is natural to use non-Chinese corpus for the sake of reconstructing proto-Sino-Tibetan, however, it is difficult to use it for reading classics and reconstructing the phonetic system of Shijing(诗经) with abundant documents. Confusing the nature and purpose of the study to negate all scholars from Qian Jia (乾嘉)(except Duan Yu - cai 段玉裁) up to 'the school of Zhang Huang(章黄) and Wang Li(王力) and so forth surprises everybody. It is unsuitable to proclaim oneself 'main trend' and exclude outsiders. Why not distinguish the nature and purpose of the study and research objectively and separately to a-void meaningless censure?
