论刘歆与章学诚

Liu Xin and Zhang Xuecheng

章学诚在刘歆《七略》“诸子出于王官”说的基础上,指出三代之学的特点是官师治教合一,六艺之学亦出于王官,切于世用。这与后世儒者专奉六艺以为经、由名物训诂以求道是对立的。章学诚对繁琐学风的抨击远承自刘歆,学主于用是两者学术思想的共同基质,但刘歆本于通经致用,而章学诚则是承自浙东学派一系的事功主义精神。

On the basis of Liu Xin＇ s Qi Lue , Zhang Xuecheng pointed out that the characteristic of the studies of three generations was the unification of the six skills which originated from Wang Guan. Such a view was opposing to the traditional Confucianism. Zhang Xuecheng＇s criticism on the elaborate atmosphere of Confucianism came from Liu Xin. ＂The study should benefit the practice＂ was the mutual ground of the two scholars, while Liu Xin＇s thought basically originated from the Jing Xue thought, but Zhang Xuecheng＇s carried out the spirit of Zhedong School.
