子思生卒年新考

A New Investigation on Zisi's Birth and Death Age

子思是先秦儒家之代表人物,学界对其生卒年问题一直存在争议。本文对诸家之说进行了梳理,并对以钱穆、蒋伯潜两家为代表的观点予以批驳,认为诸家之说皆有不合理处。结合《孔丛子》等史料,对子思之生卒年予以推定,试作新说。

Zisi is a representative of Confucianism in pre-Qin dynasty and there is a dispute on his birth anddeath age. We rebut the views represented by QianMu and Jiang Boqian and find the weaknesses of these groups. We also attempt to make a new ratiocination on Zisi＇s birth and death age according to some historical materials such as Kong Cong Zi.
