早期儒家与易学

Earlier Confucianism and the Yi-ology

孔子老而好易,思想也随之发生了一些变化。子思受孔子晚年之教,他的思想中也有受易学影响的痕迹。郭店楚墓竹简中的儒家著作,学界一般认为是子思学派的著作,这批竹简中也有深受易学影响的痕迹。从这些事实来看,《史记》所载孔子与《易》关系的事迹是可信的。

Confucius became interested in Zhouyi at his old age and accordingly there were some changes in his thought. Taught by Confucius in his remaining years, Zi si (grandson of Confucius) was also influenced by Confucius' thought on Yi. Materials inscribed on the bamboo slips of Chu excavated at Guo dian were generally regarded as writings of the school of Zi si's thought by the academic circle. Traces of the deep influences by the Yi-ology could also be seen in these documents. These facts may convince us of the credibility of the relationship between Confucius and Yi recorded in the Historical Records by SI-MA Qian.
