龚自珍对经史关系的定位

Gong Zizhen's Localization to the Relation of History and Confucians Classics

在《古史钩沉论》中龚自珍提出了史无所不包的观念,将历代置于史之上的五经,统统归属于史的范畴,并由此得出经为史之大宗的结论。龚自珍还以史之大宗、小宗来区分五经、诸子,将经、子都纳入了史的范围,并据以提出仲尼未生,先有六经之说,否定了孔子对六经的著作权。龚自珍对经史关系的这一定位说明,龚自珍的经学绝不仅仅是今文经学。

InGu Shi Gou Chen LunGong Zizhen has put forward the idea that history embraced all and past dynasties belonged to the history category totally, and from this he reached a conclusion that Confucian classics was the foundation of history. Gong Zizhen also used the category of big and small foundation of history to distinguish theFive Classics from Pre-Qin thinkers, and brought them into the range of history. He advanced the idea that theSix Classicsexisted before Confucius was born and denied the copyright of Confucius toSix Classics. Gong Zizhen gave a certain instruction for judge the relations of Confucian classics and history. The Gong Zizhen＇s localization to the relations of history and Confucians Classics means that his Confucians Classics is not the new study of Confucian classics only.
