读玄释中——试论《太玄》所本的宇宙说

An interpretation of the chapter of Zhong in Taixuan──on the cosmology based on by Taixuan

本文认为《太玄》不仅拟卦气说之易 ,亦拟《易传》所传之易 ,由准《文言》之《玄文》 ,认定《中》首在《太玄》中 ,地位最为重要。《中》首兼具水、土二行 ,是扬雄的有意安排 ,这是由其所本的宇宙思想决定的。本文认为《太玄》浑盖兼采。在对几种盖天说与浑天说分析的基础上 ,认为只有一种盖天说及一种浑天说为《太玄》所本。以此为基础 ,对《中》

The paper holds that Taixuan simulates not only the I Ching learning of Gua Qi theory (a theory about the correspondence between the 64 hexagrams and seasons) but also the I Ching learning interpreted in Yi Zhuan. And according to Xuanwen in Taixuan corresponding to Wenyan in I Ching, the paper points out that the chapter of Zhong contains two elements of Water and Earth, which was deliberately arranged by YANG Xiong according to his own views on cosmology. The author advocates that Taixuan adopts both theories of Gai tian (a theory of cosmology holding the square earth is covered by the round heaven) and Hun tian (a theory of cosmology holding that the cosmos like an egg and the earth like its yolk). Having analyzed several theories of Gai tian and Hun tian, the author points out that Taixuan bases only on one Gai tain theory and one Hun tian theory. Relying on this, the author examined the reason why the Chapter of Zhong contains the two elements of Water and Earth.
