《汉书·艺文志》与“王官说”关系辨正

Research on the Relationship between Yiwenzhi of Hanshu and the Theory that “The Classical Schools of Philosophy Originated with Officialdom”

部分学者认为《汉书·艺文志》中解释诸子起源的古职官应取自《周礼》,这其实是一种误读。还原《汉书·艺文志》成书的历史场景,可知其与《周礼》职官的联系较为松散。两者关系的构建,乃是后世学人不断层累、诠释的结果,特别是《隋书·经籍志》与胡适在其中发挥了节点性的作用。《汉书·艺文志》中所谓"王官说",实质是要解决大一统条件下的经、子关系问题,这种借助上古官守的表述方式,与当时盛行的复古之风有密切的联系。

Some scholars acknowledge that the officialdom recorded in Hanzhi was quoted from Zhouli. Actu- ally, this is a misconception. The original context of Yiwenzhi of Hanshu taken into account, it is deducible that the relationship between Yiwenzhi and Zhouli officialdom is less than substantial. This relation is there because of scholar＇ s gradual stress and interpretation, especially the influence of Jingjizhi of Suishu and Hu Shi. The officialdom theory in Yiwenzhi of Hanshu was to specify the relationship between Confucian classics and other classical schools of philosophy. The way of expression that quoted the ancient officialdom was closely relevant with the then prevailing retro fashion.
