早期儒家与《易》之关系述论

Early Confucianism and Its Relationship to Zhou-yi

《周易》在中国古代被当作儒家经典之一,孔子作"十翼"之说也久已深入人心。事实上,《易》与儒家的关系向来就很复杂。本文主要从文献学的视角,考察了孔子以至秦汉儒家易学的发展,进而提出了"学术易"、"方术易"之分,或"义理易"、"象数易"、"方术易"之分,探讨了它们的内在关联及其文化意义,并且特别强调了"象数易"的独特地位。我们的考察和区分,将有助于更深刻地认识早期儒家与《易》之关系乃至整个易学史的发展。

Zhou-yi is one of the Confucian canons in ancient China, and Confucius has been reputed as the author of The Appendices of Zhou-yi ever since the Han Dynasty. In fact, the relationship between Zhou-yi and Confucianism has been full of complexities all along. This paper traces the development of Zhou-yi theory from Confucius time to the Han Dynasty mainly from the philological perspective. It distinguishes between Xueshu-yi, Fangshu-yi, Yili-yi, Xiangshu-yi and Fangshu-yi, and discusses the relationship between one another and their cultural significance. It stresses the unique position of Xiangshu-yi. The research contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between Zhou-yi and early Confucianism, while shedding light on the early history of Zhou-yi theory.
