《吕氏春秋》“大忠”“至忠”宣传及其政治文化影响

The Dissemination of Great and Complete Loyalty in The Lu's Annals and Its Political and Cultural Influence

"忠"的观念在战国时期逐渐成熟并定型。在秦地形成重要影响的《韩非子》一书中,"忠"的论说最为集中。此后的《吕氏春秋》一书,对"忠"的道德规范又有新的解说。所谓"大忠"、"至忠"的宣传,适应了君主专制体制逐渐完备的历史要求。秦代"忠"的观念的普及,是与政治理论家这种政治道德建设的努力相关的。

The idea of ＂loyalty＂ was gradually formed and finalized during the period of Warring States in ancient China. In the book ＂The Prince in the State of Han Named Hanfei＂ which had already had a profound influence in the state of Qin, where the discussion of ＂loyalty＂ was quite emphasized. In ＂The Lu＇s annals＂, which was written a little later, a new interpretation was given to the moral norm ＂loyalty＂. The dissemination of ＂great loyalty＂ and ＂complete loyalty＂ met the historical requirement of the gradual maturity of the absolute monarchy. The permeation of the idea of ＂loyalty＂ was the result of the political theorists＇ efforts in political moral construction.
