《大戴礼记·曾子立事》篇题考

A Study of the Title of Dadai Liji·Zengzi Lishi

根据战国时期的青铜器、陶器铭文,"立事"意为主持事务,禀行政治权力,但《曾子立事》主要讲君子博学、笃行、忠信、事君父、敬师长之事,篇题《立事》与内容矛盾还是有更深刻的思想根源?隋唐时期,《曾子》有两个版本,一是《大戴礼记.曾子》,一是二卷本《曾子》,它们之间最大的不同是《大戴礼记.曾子立事》篇题,二卷本《曾子》作《修身》,它们谁先谁后?谁真谁伪?我们借助上博简《内礼》和战国时期的立事铭文,对这些林林总总的困惑进行了检讨。

According to the bronze and pottery inscription in the Warring States period,＂Li Shi＂ means the administration of affairs and the execution of political power.But Zengzi Lishi tells us that being a gentleman should be learned,honest and loyal.Does the title contradict with the contents or is there deeper ideological roots？ In Sui and Tang Dynasties there were two versions of ＂Zengzi＂,one was Dadai Liji·Zengzi and the other was the two-volumes of Zengzi,whish differed in the titles.Which should be the first and which next？ This essay tries to explain all these perplexities.
