论朱熹经学与文章之学的关系

On the Relationship between Zhu Xi's Studies of Classics and Writing Ancient-style Essays

理学宗师朱熹之经学与其文章之学的关系,尚未引起足够关注。他在奏疏的写作中时常引用《尚书》经文,除了利用《尚书》的劝谕功能影响帝王,还通过对经文的阐释,引导帝王接受自己的理学体系。与北宋儒者不同,朱熹十分注重阅读经书的主观感受与趣味,并在文章中传达、显现这种趣味。在记、序这两种文体的创作中,朱熹或阐发经义以提升立意,或反思学习经书的方式,或重绘经典传承的学术谱系,使其文章具备了深刻的学术内涵。

As a master of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty,Zhu Xi wrote many ancient-style essays which were related to his studies on Confucian classics.The relationship between his studies on classics and essays deserves attention.Zhu often quoted from the Book of History in creating his memorials to the emperor in order to give some advice to him and lead him to accept the system of his own Neo-Confucianism.He paid more attention to his feelings,experiences and interests in reading Confucian classics than those Confucians in the Northern Song,and expressed his tastes in his writing ancient-style essays.In his writing styles of 'record' and 'preface',he deepened these essays' theses by his interpretations or reflections of classics.His essays are therefore rich in their implications.
