过度诠释——论董仲舒解释《春秋》、《公羊传》之目的

Overinterpretation——The Aims of Dong Zhongshu's Explanation of the Spring and Autumn Annals and the Gongyang Commentary

董仲舒在解释《春秋》、《公羊传》时表现了较强的主观性,这主要基于他解释之目的:其一,通过解释,董仲舒把《春秋》经传之义理论化、系统化;其二,通过解释,他建构了自己的思想体系,并为其思想体系建立经典的根据;其三,通过解释,董仲舒论证了大一统皇权专制政治的合理性,且通经致用,以理论化、系统化的《春秋》之义解决现实社会政治的重要问题。

Dong Zhongshu shows quite strong subjectivity in the explanation of the Spring and Autumn Annals and the Gongyang Commentary. This is based on his aims of the explanation. The first aim is that ideas of the Spring and Autumn Annals and the Gongyang Commentary were theorized about and systematized. The second aim is that he constructed his own ideological system and founded classical, authoritative grounds for it. The third aim is thet he built theoretical foundations for the general unitary political system of autocratic monarch, and applied theoretical ideas of the Spring and Autumn Annals and the Gongyang Commentary in practice in order to expound and solve important social and political problems, which displays fully applied function of advancing with each passing era in the theory of the explanation.
