论《吕氏春秋》之“适”——兼论《吕氏春秋》对诸子百家的融合

On the Concept of Fitness and Furthermore on the Syncretism of Hundred Schools in Lü-shih Ch'un-ch'iu

"适"是《吕氏春秋》论音乐时重点推出的一个概念,其应用范围却遍及社会人生的方方面面。《吕氏春秋》通过对适行、适言、适欲、适威、适时等方面的论述,将儒、道、墨、法、名、阴阳等思想和谐统一于自身体系之中,从而使"适"成为本书剪裁诸子百家思想内容的一个重要依据。

The concept of ＂fitness＂ in the Lu-shih Ch＇un-ch＇iu was raised especially when music was disccussed upon. However, it was then applied in all aspects of society and human life. Through the discussion on the fitness of actions, words, desire, power and time, etc, the Lu-shih Ch＇un-ch＇iu absorbed the thoughts of the schools of Confucianist, Taoist, Mohist, Legalist, Names and Yin-Yang harmoniusly into its own system and consequently made ＂fitness＂ become an important basis of syncretizing the thoughts of hundred schools.
