论《吕氏春秋》之“因”

Study on Yin in Master LV′s Spring and Autumn Annals

在分析前人相关思想的基础上《吕氏春秋》总结了普遍适用的一条原则即"因"。"因"的原则把道家的因循无为和儒家的积极有为相结合,形成了待时而动、顺势而起的处世之道。《吕氏春秋》首次把"因"作为哲学概念提出来,指出因循客观要素对于成就功业的重要性,并把因循客观要素与重视主观努力相结合,在方式方法上注重因人而异。这一原则在政治上丰富了无为与变法的治国理论,是对老子"无为而治"思想的继承和发展,对当今政府的政治、经济、外交等战略举措也具有重要的指导意义。

On the basis of the former thinkers′related thought,Master LV′s Spring and Autumn Annals summarized the principle of general application：＂Yin＂（following rules）.With the combination of Taoist′s principle about doing nothing positive and Confucianist′s principle about doing actively,the principle of ＂Yin＂ forms principles of life took the advantage of proper time and proper occasion.Master LV′s Spring and Autumn Annals firstly put forward ＂Yin＂ as a philosophical concept whose political purpose was to enrich the ruling theory in which the Sovereign was inferior to his subjects through combining ＂Yin＂ and doing actively.It also has important guiding significance to today′s strategies of political,economic and diplomatic.
