从“君子不器”看孔子所论“仁”与“礼”的关系

The Relationship Between "Benevolence" and "Rites" as Reflected in "The Gentleman Is No Vessel"

"君子不器"是《论语》中提出的一个重要命题,但孔子并没有做出更多的解释和阐发,后人多认为此条是对君子修养方面的要求。本文从孔子政治思想的核心"仁——礼"关系分析入手,集中论述"器"与"不器"实为孔子"以仁释礼"、"仪礼相重"的又一具体阐发。

That ＂The Gentleman Is No Vessel＂,a very important topic in The Analects,was not expounded by Confucius,though most scholars explain it in terms of self-cultivation for the accomplished scholar.This paper will start with the relationship between ＂Benevolence＂ and ＂Rites＂,the core of Confucius＇ political thoughts,to explain that the two conceptions：＂Vessel＂ and ＂No Vessel＂ are helpful to the understanding of ＂Explaining Rites with Benevolence＂ and ＂Attaching Equal Importance to Rites and Benevolence＂.
