西汉宣元时期萧望之、匡衡诗学研究

Xiao Wangzhi and Kuang Heng's Poetry in Xuan Yuan Period of West Han Dynasty

《齐诗》以解说阴阳在西汉《诗》学传统中独树一帜,萧望之和匡衡两位解诗学者将阴阳灾异说配合《诗经》探论君臣之道,迎合政治需要,将《诗经》解说附予匡扶国政的经学意味。二人因才华、政见得到皇帝赏识而官居重位,从侧面对宣帝和元帝知识结构和文化政策有一定影响,从疏奏、诏书中频引《诗》表述天人关系中可见。以时代政治为背景考察萧望之、匡衡诗学,能够深层了解《诗经》在西汉中后期的实用价值,展现儒士在政治变迁中被利用、牺牲的命运。
