“五经六纬”考辨

Reconfirmation of “Wujing-liuwei”

在对谶纬成书时间的研究中,学者在《汉书·李寻传》提出的"五经六纬"问题聚讼不已,争论的焦点是"五经六纬"指儒家典籍还是指星相?若指典籍,则证明纬书在成帝时期已经形成系统;若指星相,则不能证明纬书在此时已成系统。然而,从古代行文习惯及原文语境上综合汉代文献对"五经六纬"重新考察,可以明确,其本义既非指典籍、亦非指星相,应是汉代对"天地之数"的一种泛称。

In the study of the time of completion of the books Chenwei, the scholars have forever debated？ on ＂Wu- jing-liuwei＂ proposed in the classic Hanshu-Biography of LI Xun. The debate on ＂Wujing-liuwei＂ focuses on whether it meant the Confucian classics or the stars. If it meant the Confucian classics, it can be confirmed that the ＂Chenwei＂ had already been arranged in Emperor Cheng＇ s Era in the West HAN Dynasty. If it meant the stars, the arrangement would not have been established. However, when we study on the ancient？ writing habits in the Han Dynasty and judge from the？ context of the documents, we can be sure that the original meaning is neither the Confucian？ classic nor the stars, but it refers to ＂Tiandizhishu＂ in general.
