《武经七书》确定及改动

The Determination and Change of Wujing Qishu

宋代为配合武举、武学的考试、教学所需,由官方整理、刊布《武经七书》。《武经》勘定本与其它各本相比,有如下改动或不同:第一,删去了对君王不利或不礼貌的言辞;第二,强调"义";第三,删去了与军事关系不大的内容;第四,在文字上受古文运动影响,语言简洁而意义显豁;第五,偶有误改。宋人所选的《武经七书》在思想内容上有浓厚的儒家色彩,强调仁义道德,注重礼仪;在文武关系上,则侧重于"文"。

Wujing Qishu was revised and published officially in Song Dynasty for the examinations of military official selection and martial arts teaching. Compared with other versions, the revised version has the following differences. At first, the discourse which is adverse to the emperor is omitted. Second, ＂righteousness＂ is emphasized. Third, the content which has little to do with military is also omitted. Fourth, with rich meanings, the language is concise affected by the ancient prose movement and fifth, the errors and mistakes are hardly found in the book. The influence of Confucius is emphasized and morality and etiquette is paid more attention in the book, with the focus on the ＂civil＂ in the civil-military relationship.
