日本江户时期朱子学之兴盛及其原因

The Research on the Flourishing of Zhu Xi's Philosophy in the Japanese Edo Period

朱子学传入日本早期主要依附于佛禅思想之下,影响不大。其后受到德川政权的庇护脱离佛教并日渐兴盛,成为占据支配地位的思想学说,对日本政治、教育、社会风俗诸多领域产生了深远影响。江户时期朱子学兴盛的主要原因有三:一是适应了破除二元政治形态的社会历史背景;二是其实用性价值思想体系适应了德川幕府政权统治的需求;三是德川幕府的禁教、锁国政策的影响。

When the Zhu Xi's philosophy was introduced to Japan in the early stages,it did not exert big influence because it attaches itself to the Chan Buddhism(Known in Japan as Zen Thought).Gradually,under the support of the Tokugawa Regime,it separated itself from Buddhism and became the dominant theory,producing the profound effect on many fields,such as Japanese politics,education,social customs and so on.There are three main reasons about the thriving of the Zhu Xi's philosophy in Edo Period:The first is to adapt to the social and historical background which breaks the dualistic politic form.The second is its practical value ideology having met the needs of the Tokugawa Regime.The third is the prohibition of religion by the Tokugawa Shogunate and the influence of seclusion policy.
