朱熹《中庸章句》对“致中和”的注释及其蕴含的生态思想——兼与《礼记正义·中庸》比较

Notes and Commentary of Chu His's The Textual Study of the Doctrine of the Mean on "the Zhong and the He Being Made Superlative"(致中和) in which the Ecological Thought is Contained

朱熹《中庸章句》对"致中和,天地位焉,万物育焉"作了合理而深入的诠释,并且认为,将人的喜怒哀乐未发的"中"与发皆中节的"和"推到极致,并据此体会人的先天本性以及与此具有共同性的天地万物之理和变化规律,进而"裁成天地之道,辅相天地之宜"、"赞天地之化育",就可以实现"天地位"、"万物育"。这里蕴含着具有现代意义的生态思想。

The Doctrine of the Mean said： ＂When joy, anger, sorrow and pleasure have not yet arisen, it is called the Zhong （中, equilibrium）. When they arise to their appropriate levels, it is called the He（和, harmony）. When the Zhong and the He are made superlative, Heaven and Earth are in their proper positic）ns, and the myriad things are nourished and flourish. ＂ Chu His＇s The Textual Study of the Doctrine of the Mean made reasonable and profound notes and commentary on it, and thought that Heaven and Earth being in their proper positions, and the myriad things being nourished and flourish, will be achieved, when human makes the Zhong and the He superlative,and realizes that his connatural inbeing is identical with the Tad of Heaven and Earth and the myriad things, further more, completes the Tad of Heaven and Earth, and assists their suitable arrangement and transforming and nourishing powers. Here is contained the ecological thought.
