《周易》研究的反思与新探

The Study of the Book of Changes: A Reflection and a New Possibility

《周易》具有中国思想史上的源头地位,其思想价值可谓历久弥新,但由于人们对《周易》作为原始文化孓遗的特殊性质缺乏足够的认知,故在对其研究过程中的误读与误判也时常出现。从文化人类学与文化诗学的角度考察,可对《周易》研究中的几个问题提出质疑:如孔子作《十翼》说、《周易》归属门派说、《周易》经传先后论、《周易》著作论等都有可商榷之处,这些误读与误判与研究者的研究立场与观察视角密切相关。若转换方法与视角,也许可以将《周易》研究以及中国先秦文学研究带入一个新境界。

As the origin of Chinese thought, the Book of Changes has its lasting value. However, the lack of adequate knowledge of the particularity of the Book of Changes as the remains of primeval culture has resulted in frequent misunderstandings and misjudgments in its study. The perspective of cultural anthropology and poetics can help us critically think over such issues as whether Confucius wrote the Commentaries on the Book of Changes, whether the Commentaries were factually written after the Book, which school the Book of Changes belonged to, and who wrote the Book of Changes. With this perspective and method, a new prospect will open up for the study of the Book of Changes as well as Chinese literature in the Pre-Qin period.
