先秦最后一位理想主义者的悲剧——读《吕氏春秋》

The Tragedy of An Idealist in the Dynasty Prior to Qin Dynasty——After reading Lü's Commentaries of History

吕不韦及《吕氏春秋》由于《史记》的记载和几千年来世人故有的成见而被耻于提及,实际上,吕不韦是具有"立君建国"和以仁义一统天下的理想的伟大政治家;《吕氏春秋》也是以"理"为标准,兼容并蓄,融合各家学派之长的不朽著作,是先秦百家争鸣的完美收官之作。

People feel ashamed to mention LO Buwei and his Lti＇s Commentaries of History due to the record of Historical Records and thousands of years of prejudices held by the people at large. In fact,LO Buwei was a great statesman with the ambition of ＂establishing the state with the sovereignty of monarchy＂ and the unification of the country through benevolent righteousness. Lu＇s Commentaries of History sets ＂rationality＇as its standard with all schools of thought combined by integrating the monumental works by various schools, and is considered a perfect work to round up for the movement of the contention of a hundred schools of thought prior to the Qin dynasty.
