荀子儒法合流思想的影响

Influence of Xunzi's Thought of “Convergence of Confucianism and Legalism”

荀子是先秦时期的一代儒学大师,他大胆吸收别派主要是法家的合理思想,极大地改造了早期儒家的思想体系,形成了既"隆礼"又"重法"的思想体系,他认为,礼治需要法治的辅佐,法治需要礼治的指导,二者可以在政治和法律层面上交融互摄,从而开启了儒法合流的先河,对我国古代在思想文化和治国方面产生了深刻影响。

Xunzi, a greatmaster of Confucianism in the Qin Dynasty, had assimilated the thougllt ot legalism and alterated Confucianism to form the thonght of rite and law. He thought that rite and law are closely related to each other and can be combined at the levels of politics and judiciary,which initiated the age of the Convergence of Confucianism and Legalism and had a great influence on ancient China＇s ideology, culture and rule.
