《论语·先进》第一章新解

Interpretation on the First Chapter of The Analects of Confucius Advanced

《论语·先进》第一章即"先进于礼乐,野人也;后进于礼乐,君子也。如用之,则吾从先进",历来对其解释众多,其阐释的多样化备受关注。根据对于"野人"和"君子"的理解不同,主要存在着两种解读倾向:一种是从文质说方面解读,一种是从在位说方面解读。本文对前人的解释进行了总结介绍,并在此基础之上,通过对文本的细读分析,提出了新的观点,即认为本章应当理解为"礼乐修行好的弟子,现在在野,没有入仕;而礼乐修行的不是太好的弟子,却成为了在位者。如果让我选用人才,我选择礼乐修行较好的弟子"。
