王廷相道寓于“六经”的思想

Wang Tingxiang's Idea of "Tao Resides in The Six Confucian Classics"

王廷相提出道寓于"六经"的思想,以"六经"为载道之文,强调求道于"六经",而不讲"四书";并尊孔非孟,批评宋儒之学。以维护孔子及"六经"的权威来降低孟子、朱熹及"四书"的权威和重要性,修正朱学的流弊,这在经学史和理学史上均具有重要意义,体现了王廷相经学与理学思想的独特性。

Wang Tingxiang proposed the idea that Tao resides in The Six Confucian Classics and The Six Confucian Classics is used as the vehicle for delivering Tao. He stressed that Tao should be gained in The Six Confucian Classics instead of The Four Books. He advocated to respect Confucius and to downplay the significance of Mencius. He criticized the study of Confueiuss of the Song Dynasty. By safeguarding the authority of Confucius and The Six Confucian Classics, he downplayed the authority and the importance of Mencius, Zhu Xi and The Four Books and amended the flaws of the study of Zhu Xi. This is of great significance in the history of Confucian classics and the history of Neo-Confueiunism. It also embodies the uniqueness of Wang Tingxiang＇s thought of Confucian classics and Neo-Confucianism.
