《史记·五帝本纪》位于《史记》篇首,在其论赞中说它援引了见于《大戴礼记》的《五帝德》和《帝系》等“雅驯”的文章。但仔细看后会发现,从黄帝到尧,大体上引用了《五帝德》,而关于舜的记述却采录了诸子之说,几乎不采用《五帝德》。本文拟从五帝故事的结构来考察这个问题。 “Historical Records of the Five Emperors” is located in the first chapter of “Historical Records,” in its comments, citing the article “Elegant Education and Taming” as seen in the “Great Etiquette” of the “Five Emperors of Germany” and “Emperor's Department.” However, after careful examination, we can see that from the Yellow Emperor to Yao, it generally refers to the “Five Emperors of Germany”, while the account of Shun recites the words of the sons and seldom adopts the “Five Emperors of Germany.” This article intends to examine this issue from the structure of the story of the Five Emperors.
