顾颉刚

顾颉刚 appears in 75.故事新编：骷髅被复活后会感激庄子吗？ as the main scholarly background for 《理水》. The episode presents him as the representative figure of 古史辨, a movement that questioned inherited accounts of ancient rulers such as Yao, Shun, and 大禹.

The source-scoped allusion is the claim that “禹” might be an insect rather than a historical person. The episode treats Lu Xun’s satire as more than personal grievance: 鲁迅 is shown arguing with a scholarly posture that can become detached from living people, even when historical doubt itself remains intellectually important.
