汉人读《易》考三则

A Textual Study of the Exegesis on Zhouyi by Western Han Scholars

作为我国最古老的文献之一,《周易》早在春秋战国时代就已不易读懂,时至今日,人们的理解更是千差万别、莫衷一是。西汉人近古,他们对《周易》的解读与应用,对于今天我们理解《周易》很有参考价值。

Zhouyi, one of the oldest documents in China, had been difficult to understand in as early as Spring-Autumn and Warring States Period. It is not surprising that modern people understand it in di- verse ways. Temporally speaking, the Western Han dynasty is much closer to the age of Zhouyi than now. Therefore, the interpretations of the book by the people in those days should be of much refer- ential significance.
