REVIEW: PU YU ZHONGHUA MINZU 濮與中華民族 (PU AND THE CHINESE NATION). BY JIN ZHONG 金鐘
書評：《濮與中華民族》金鐘（著）
摘要
Jin Zhong's book Pu and the Chinese Nation is a new attempt at interpreting place names, names of ethnic groups and personal names in China by drawing on linguistic methods. The highlight of the book is to discuss the centrality of Pu 濮 (or Pu Yue 濮越) in Chinese history and its relationship with the Han 漢 and other ethnic minorities in China. While the author's eagerness to fill an important research gap and to revolutionize our perception of Pu is commendable, the work appears to be a work-in-progress rather than a finished product because many fundamental issues in its logic of argumentation, methods and evidence remain to be addressed.
