周公摄政与周初政教关系初探

A Preliminary Approach to Zhou Gong's Regency and theRelationship between Politics and Religion

周公摄政导致了周初二王并存的局面,而二王并存的实质是国家政权和教权的分离。周公是周代初期的巫史领袖,并于武王后期开始执掌教权,由于不能和政权明确分开,引起王族的猜疑。周公为此迁居东都洛邑,并致力于制礼作乐,目的是使政教分权更加明晰化,造成了一次意义深远的社会制度和思想文化的革命。

Zhou Gong's regency led to the co-existence of two kings in the early Zhou Dynasty,and real situation was theseparation of political power and religion power. Zhou Gong was the leader in religion realm,yet he took over the politi-cal power in the late reign of King Wu. Zhou Gong's regency caused himself under suspicion by the King family since hisgovernance made no clear distinction between political power and religion power. In order to solve this problem,ZhouGong relocated the Capital to Luoyi,and devoted himself to making rituals and music with the purpose of making theseparation of political power and religion power more obviously-identified. Zhou Gong's such efforts had produced an far-reaching revolution in social system and ideology and culture.
