史料不一定就等于史实,原因在于人们眼见的史料难免存在错误。史料的正误关系到史论能否成立,在征引之前应对史料加以必要的考辨。通过对《续资治通鉴》《桂海虞衡志》及《溪蛮丛笑》中有关“谴”的史料进行详细的考证辨析,可以发现目前流行的壮族族称源于宋代“撞军”的说法,实际上所征引的史料系版本传抄过程中产生的谬误,应予以纠正。
Historical data is not necessarily equal to historical facts because there are inevitable mistakes in historical data. Whether the historical data is right or wrong affects the establishment of a historical conclusion. Therefore, we must study the historical data carefully before quoting them. Based on a detailed research and study on the historical data of "Zhuang" recorded by Xu Zi Zhi Tong Jian, Gui Hal Yu Heng Zhi and Xi Man Cong Xiao, it is found that the current popular histori- cal conclusion which claims the name of ethnic Zhuang originated from "Zhuang Army" in Song Dynasty actually is a mistake. The miscopying and spreading process of the original historical version produces some mistakes in the historical data which in turn leads to the wrong historical conclusion. And it should be corrected.
