荀学与郭店楚简儒家文献关系新探

Exploration on the Relationship between the Theories of Xunzi and the Literature of Confucianism in Guodian Chu Strips

传统观点认为,郭店儒简是思孟学派的著作,是先秦儒学"孔子→子思→孟子"谱系传承中的重要一环。根据文献比对及理论分析可以看出,荀子不仅大量征引儒简中的文句,而且将其运用到自身理论的建构中,继承并发展了儒简"天人之分"的天人观,以人道为主的"道"论,"以生为性"的人性质朴论,以情论乐的诗乐发生论及"美情"、"生德"的诗乐功用理论。因此可以说荀子对儒简文字上的借鉴与思想上的继承已远远超过其前辈孟子,从荀子与郭店儒简的密切关系中亦可清晰地看出"孔子→儒简→荀子"的儒学传承谱系。

The traditional view is that the literature of Confucianism in Guodian Chu Strips are the work of Si-Meng School reflecting the pre-Qin Confucian heritage of ＂ Confucius-Zisi-Mencius ＂. According to the philology comparison we can find that Xunzi has not only cited many sentences from Guodian Chu Strips, but also inherited and developed the theory of ＂the nature and humankind have their own functions＂, the Tao theory of human, the theory that human nature is pure and characterized by ＂the innate human nature＂, and the theory of poetry arising from emotions heightening our emotions and developing our moral sentiment. Xunzi＇s inheritance and development from the Literature of Confucianism in Guodian Chu Strips are far more than his predecessors Mencius. They reflect the heritage of ＂Confucius - Confucianism Pieces -Xunzi＂ more explicitly.
