董仲舒《春秋繁露》考辨

Authenticity Discrimination of Dong Zhongshu's Chunqiu Fanlu

董仲舒为西汉儒学的代表性人物,被时人推尊为"群儒首",所谓"文王之文在仲尼,仲尼之文在仲舒"。他的思想学说,主要保留在《春秋繁露》一书之中。文章从文献学的角度对《春秋繁露》的真伪进行了较为全面的分析,指出其书非后人所依托,而当为董仲舒本人所著,是我们今天讨论董仲舒学说的最基本资料。《春秋繁露》一书的体例虽然杂芜,内容也不纯醇,但是依然有其内在逻辑可以寻绎。

Dong Zhongshu was the representative figure of the Confucianism in the Western Han Dynasty and was praised highly as “number one among the Confucianists”, just as was called “It was Kong Zi who inherited King Wen’s essence of ideas in the Zhou Dynasty and it was Dong Zhongshu who inherited Kong Zi’s essence of ideas ”. His ideas were embodied in the book of Chunqiu Fanlu. This paper makes an overall authenticity discrimination of Chunqiu Fanlu from the perspective of bibliography and points out that it was not made up by the later generations on the pretext of Dong Zhongshu but written by Dong Zhongshu himself and that it is the essential material for us to study Dong Zhongshu’s ideas. Although this book is disordered in style and impure in content, it still has its own internal logic.
