皮锡瑞之易学观

PI Xirui's Views on the Yi-ology

皮锡瑞相信伏羲画卦,同意司马迁等人以文王重卦的观点,认为卦、爻辞都是孔子所作,并以"十翼"中的一些篇目出自孔子。皮氏论《周易》的作者和成书时代彰显了他对"汉学"的尊崇,体现了他崇经尊孔观念。由于他有着今文经学的立场,所以其对易学各派的评论也多受先入为主的经学观念的影响。皮锡瑞对王弼义理易学表示推崇,然而他并不忽视象数之学。他从易学史的高度论述了清代易家之易学。在具体的治《易》方法上,皮氏有继承,也有创新。他推崇焦循以"假借说《易》",还主张以汉碑证《易》。

Pl Xirui （ 1850-1908 ） believes that it was Fuxi who invented the eight trigrams, agrees with SIMA Qian＇ s viewpoint that it was King Wen who overlapped the eight trigrams into 64 hexagrams, and contends that both the hexagram and line statements were composed by Confucius and credits some contents of the Ten Wings to Confucius. In elucidating the authors and completion time of the Zhouyi, PI stressed his veneration to the Han （206 BCE-220 CE） tradition of the learning and threaded through with his homage to Confucius and Confucian Classics. Because he stands for the New Text tradition, his views were by and large preoccupied by his out- look on the Confucian Classics. Though P1 Xirui attaches importance to WANG Bi＇ s （226-249 ） meaning-pattern Yi studies, he does not neglect image-numerology, which he thinks was not originated from Confucius but from another branch. He recounted the studies of Change in the Qing dynasty （ 1616-1911 ） at the height of the history of the studies of Change. In specific studies of the Change, he both inherited the predecessors＇ achievements and shed new light on it. He upholds JIAO Xun＇ s （ 1763-1820） figurative approach and advocates attesting to the Change by the inscriptions on the excavated steles of the Eastern Han dynasty （25-220）.
