In recent ten years, some scholars in Sichuan have made in-depth exploration on the issue of Sima Xiangru's hometown, and achieved many achievements, which have aroused widespread concern in academic circles. Among these achievements, Deng's "Sima Xiangru and Peng 'an", the study of "Pengzhou people" and Hou's query on Li Jue discussed Sima Xiangru's hometown from different angles, and achieved gratifying results. 200 1 The book Xiang Ru Hometown Peng An edited by Zhao and Deng was published by Sichuan People's Publishing House. This book has collected monographs, correspondence, media reports, investigation visits and documents, which has great influence in academic circles. With the efforts of many scholars, the concept that Sima Xiangru's hometown is Peng 'an County, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, and Chengdu is the last place to borrow books has been accepted by the academic circles to some extent. For example, Liu Nanping and Ban Pingxiu wrote in On Sima Xiangru's Primitive Complex: "At present, there is an opinion in academic circles that Sima Xiangru's native place is Jinping Town, Peng 'an County, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province. Chengdu is the last residence of Sima Xiangru. The 20th century two people in the 1920s to 265438+the early 20th century domestic Sima Xiangru research summary wrote:

According to the legend of Sima Xiangru in Historical Records, he is from Chengdu, Shu County, which is now from Chengdu, Sichuan. However, in recent years, some local cultural researchers, especially those who presided over the compilation of new county records, such as Deng, have repeatedly reiterated that their native place is Jinping Town, Peng 'an County, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province. Representative documents include: Xiang Ru's Hometown is in Peng 'an, edited by Zhao and Deng (Sichuan People's Publishing House, 200 1 edition), and Sima Yan's paper On Pengzhou People in Sima Xiangru, Wang Peixun (Journal of Sichuan Normal University, No.4, 2000). After several years of further research, the supplementary conclusion is that Chengdu is the last place where Sima Xiangru settled. Representative documents are: Deng Re-discussing his hometown (Journal of Sichuan Normal University, Social Science Edition, No.2, 2005). Deng's exposition on hometown Peng 'an and Yang's academic seminar on Bashu culture (Journal of Sichuan Normal University, Social Science Edition,No. 1 2005) are of comprehensive significance. This is the evidence that Peng 'an, Sichuan, said that Xiang's hometown is here. There is another folk saying that it is in Henan, but Henan has been unable to produce evidence.
