《论语》作者及篇章结构略考

A Study on the Auther and the Text Structure of The Analects of Confucius

《论语》不是纯粹的由一人或者一个团体编定完成,不管是孔门弟子,如仲弓子夏子游,还是孔门再传弟子,如曾子或有子的门人,抑或是子思,实际上《论语》是层累地造成的。这并不是说,《论语》完全由散乱的语录在不同时代结集起来,而是由主体文本与附属文本组成的。这个主体文本就是仲弓子夏子游子张子贡有子等人在孔子逝后,召集众弟子完成的;而附属文本则是曾子门人记录的曾子语录以及其他孔门弟子语录。

The Analects of Confucius was not completed by one person or group, neither Confucius' disciples or his disciples' disciplesIt is actually a work created through a stratum accumulation. This is not to say it is a compilation of scattered quotations from differenages, but it is composed of a body text and some attached texts. The body text is completed by Zhong Gong, Zi Xia, Zi You, Zi Zhang and Zi Gong and other disciples after the death of Confucius. The attached texts consists of quotations from Ceng Zi and other disciples of Confucius as recorded by Ceng Zi's disciples.
