论曹魏权力合法性与思想演变的关系

The Relationship between the Ruling Legitimacy and the Ideological Transformation in the Wei Dynasty

曹魏政权的合法性与思想演变之间有着十分重要的关系。在曹操执政时期,其权力合法性存在很大的危机,执政者加强控制,士人不得不在观念上作出调整以适应形势的变化。而在魏文帝、明帝时代,权力合法性危机得到缓解,政权内部集团的势力相对平衡,总体上为玄学的发展提供了相对宽松的思想环境。司马氏专权时期,其僭越的权力形态寓含着合法性危机,使其加紧了对思想领域的控制,玄学的思想活动失去了自由的环境,魏晋玄学至此告一段落。

There is an meaningful connection between the evolution of ideology and the legitimacy of the government of the Wei Dynasty. In the period of legitimacy crisis, the rulers--represented by Caocao--strengthened their power and control, and intellectuals had to adjust theirconception to meet the need of political vicissitudes. When the crisis got soothed in the early time of the Wei Dynasty with the ruling forces being balanced, an environment of freethinking emerged for the development of Chinese Metaphysics, which, however, ceased to exist under the following Sima dictatorship.
