试论传统东亚秩序的礼治:一种分析框架

The Place of Rituals within the Traditional East Asia Order:A Framework for Analysis

文章旨在提出一个分析理解传统东亚秩序的礼治框架。通过对各个相关学科现有研究成果的梳理,文章将"礼"的概念引入国际关系研究中,并指出,传统东亚秩序礼治的统合性原则规范是所谓"天下礼"。通过中央国家的推行,天下礼得以普遍实施,传统东亚秩序因此得以有序运转、平稳发展。礼治的理想状态是"礼秩",作者将其抽象为"4Li稳定模型",该模型展示了理(天下礼的基本原则)、力(权力资源运用的礼仪逻辑)和利(礼仪化的国际制度)如何在礼治框架下实现辩证统一。

Through a review of research from relevant disciplines,this article contextualizes the concept of the ' rites' within the field of international relations,and points out that the so-called 'rite of the heavens' represents the unified normative principle of the traditional East Asian Order.Through promotion by the central state within the international system,the 'rite of the heavens' became universal,and on the basis of this principle,the Traditional East Asia order was maintained and developed stably.The ideal form of ritual based normative order is discussed in the abstract by the author as the '4 Li Stability Model',which illustrates how 'Li'(reason,or the basic principle of the rite of the heavens), 'Li'(authority as the application of the ritual logic),and 'Li'(power,or the ritual based international system) function together in unity under 'Li',or the ritual based framework of governance.
