《春秋繁露·止雨》“二十一年”管窥

Research on Chunqiufanlu·Zhi Yu "21st year"

《春秋繁露·止雨》"二十一年"的记载,从版本、朔日等方面来看,存在着讹误,后人也有所误解。但这并不影响它的史料价值,它在探讨董仲舒作天人三策年代方面具有独特作用,既能与《史记》、《汉书》构成证据链,为元光元年说提供了有力支撑,又否定或限制了其他说法。同时,它又是汉代儒家著述中稀有的王国纪年资料,是诸侯王地位的标志,也是反映习惯做法、思想意识滞后于政治制度变化现象的标本。

Judging from the edition and the first day of each lunar month regarding the record of ＂21st year＂ in Chunqiufardu＂ Zhi Yu, it can be concluded that errors do exist, from which misinterpretations have been conducted. However, these problems will never affect its historical value with its uniqueness in concluding the year of Dong Zhongshu＇s writing ＂Tian-Ren San Ce＂. Coupled with Shih Chi and Hanshu, it serves as strong evidence supporting the view that ＂Tian-Ren San Ce＂ was written in the first year of Yuanguang. In the meanwhile, it is a scarce piece of chronological record of a kingdom in Han Dynasty＇s Confucian works. It symbolizes the status of the leuds and reflects the fact that conventions and ideology lagged behind the transformation of political system at that time.
