马融《丧服经传注》的经学意蕴

The Confucianism Classic Implication of Ma Rong's Text Interpretation of Mourning Apparel

《丧服经传》是《仪礼》第十一篇。礼乐制度的根本功能在于确立君统,建立一种有差别的等级宗法社会秩序。东汉中后期,太后临朝称制、外戚和宦官专权,使得皇权陵夷、纲纪沦丧,东汉政权摇摇欲坠。作为东汉黑暗社会的受害者与反抗者,一代经学大师马融通过注释《丧服经传》,曲折地表达了他试图强化宗法礼制、重整纲纪的社会变革理想。

Text Interpretation of Mourning Apparel is the eleventh piece of The Etiquette. The system of rites and music has played a fundamental role to establish monarchy authority and a discriminating patriarchal social order. Queen Mother in late Eastern Han Dynasty resumed the government power, and then relatives of Queen Mother as well as eunuchs grabbed all the powers, so that the imperial power was declining, social order and laws were greatly perished, and then the government of Eastern Han Dynasty was on the verge of collapse as a result. Ma Rong, who was one master of the Confucianism classic study and also the victim and resister of the social darkness of Eastern Han Dynasty, gave the expression of his social reform idea of strengthening the patriarchal clan system and etiquette.
