以阐释为创造:中国传统释义学的一个特点——以何休为例

Interpretation as Creation:On a Characteristic of Chinese Traditional Hermeneutics:Take He Xiu as Example

《公羊传》以阐释为创造的做法在何休那里得到了进一步的发展。何休对他之前的汉代公羊学作了创造性的总结,使公羊学达到了一个前所未有的高度。何休释例,不是为了简单地总结和归纳《春秋》的义例,而是为了通过释例来阐发义理,提出他自己的公羊学思想。三科九旨的有关思想虽然前人也有提到,但何休却将它们系统地阐发为一套完整的政治哲学和历史哲学的理论,这是何休最大的理论贡献,对后世产生了深远的影响。

Hermeneutics is one of the main forms of the traditional Chinese learning.Gongyang Commentary starts an important tradition of Chinese hermeneutic which has great influence upon later ages.He Xiu made big contribution to the development of the tradition and pushed it to a new stage.Of He's hermeneutics the most significant and original is his theories of the three principles and nine elements(san ke jiu zi),i.e.unity of three traditions(da yi tong),three periods(zhang san shi) and distinguishing the inner and outer(yi nei wai).These theories demonstrate that He's hermeneutics is not one in sense of methodology,but a philosophical hermeneutics.
