《性理精义》与清初的政治意识形态

The Essential Spirit of Xingli and Political Ideology in Early Qing Dynasty

清初的政治意识形态,在世俗一面是由康熙《圣谕十六条》及其后雍正所衍的《圣谕广训》为代表,在形而上一面则是康熙和李光地所定的《御纂性理精义》。《性理精义》一书,是康熙授意李光地等理学大臣删整明代理学名著《性理大全》而成,其目的在于通过尊崇朱熹之学而将治统兼合道统。《性理精义》一书体现的,正是康熙帝王术的具体一面。李光地学行不一,杂糅诸学以迎合帝王。君臣共同完成了清初政治意识形态的建构。

The political ideology in the early Qing Dynasty presented its secular facet by The Sacred Edict of emperors Kangxi and Yongzheng, while its metaphysical facet by the Zhuxi＇s neo-Confucianism, in particular the book The Essential Spirit of Xingli. This book was compiled and edited by Li Guangdi under an edict of Emperor Kangxi. It was intended to justify the political orthodoxy that combined the Confucian orthodoxy with the help of Zhuxi＇s Neo-Confucian doctrine. Li mingled a variety of learning from different schools of Neo-Confucianism to cater for the Emperor. With the cooperation of the emperor and the Neo- Confucian, the political ideology was established.
