《论语》在宋前为何不受重视

Why The Analects of Confucius Are Not Given Much Importance in the Pre-Song

作为儒家重要的经典,《论语》为何在宋以前不受重视?其原因当从其自身来找。第一,《论语》一书是何时编成的,作者和编篡者是谁,史有成说,纷争不断。第二,《论语》书名涵义。第三,编纂动机。长期以来,对于《论语》一书的书名含义的探讨过于简单,而且忽视其编纂动机。实际上,解决了《论语》书名的真正含义及其编纂用意,有可能发现这部儒家经典的成书时间。也可以得出一个结论:《论语》成书应在"儒术独尊"之际。由此三点不难发现《论语》在宋前不受重视的原因。

As an important Confucian classic,why The Analects of Confucius are not given much importance inthe pre-Song？ There are three reasons ： First, when The Analects of Confucius is compiled, and who are its author and compiler？ They have been debated continuously in history. Second, its meaning. Third, motivation of compilation. For long time, the study of the meaning of The Analects is too simple, and people neglect its motive of compile. Actually, solved its real meaning of title of The Analects and it compiles intention, we discover its time of compile probably. And we can get a conclusion： The Analects become a hook should on this occasion of ＂Confucianism only use＂.
