摘要
顾颉刚提出的禹是一位天神而非现实社会的人王、禹治洪水亦是出于神话的说法是不成立的。作为我国夏王朝的建立者和夏的第一位王者,禹在历史上的存在是不容否定的,禹治洪水之事也是实实在在的历史。禹通过治理洪水而得到各部族的拥戴,这里的关键在于弄清禹治洪水的真相。禹治洪水不是对大江大河的治理,而只是对其所居住的古河济地区经常发生的洪涝灾害进行排涝和开挖沟洫一类工作,这种性质的工作是完全可信以为实的。这些史事,可以从夏活动地域与禹治洪水发生地域的一致性,从该地域至今仍留有许多当时人们为躲避洪水而居住的小丘,为防止洪水而修筑的夯土城,以及文献所载夏的都邑与当地考古发掘结果相互吻合等线索,得到进一步证明。
According to the theory put forward by Gu Jie-gang that Yu was a God rather than the king in the real society and that Yu tamed the flood was also a myth,this paper points out that,as the founder of the Xia Dynasty and the first king,the existence of the Yu in Chinese history is undeniable and the matter of Yu tamed flood is also a real history.Yu gained the support of the tribes by controlling the flood,the key thing here is to find out the truth of Yu controlling the flood.It was not controlling the big rivers that Yu tamed the flood,but just to carry out the work of drainage and excavation on floods that frequently happen in the ancient region between the Yellow river and Ji river where they were living,this type of works was completely believable.These historical facts can be further proved by the same area where Xia Dynasty activity and Yu controlling the flood,by the remains of many hills in the area where the people lived to escape the flood,by the rammed earth walls to prevent floods,by the documents of the capital in Xia Dynasty coinciding with the results of the local archaeological evidences,and so on.
