从物质文化视角看“孔子删诗”争议

ON " Poems deletion by Confucius " from the Material Culture Factor,

在《诗经》研究史上,对于孔子是否曾把当时流传的三千多篇诗删定为三百零五篇,历来聚讼纷纭。原因在于,肯定与否定双方都仅仅是从前代文献中寻找某些文本依据,主要纠结于孔子之前古诗能否有"三千余篇"的问题,而没有能从物质文化视角进行分析论证。如果兼顾物质文化要素来重新认识孔子的"删诗",可知孔子对《诗》肯定做过系统的整理编订,但并没有对《诗》的篇章大加删削。这一问题启示我们,在阅读、研究古代典籍的时候,要时时提醒自己,必须充分考虑物质文化要素,尽可能避免犯"以今律古"的错误。

In the history of the study of book of sowgj,there were many divergent opinions on whether Confucius cut 3000 poems to 305,for both sides were only found the basis in the previous literature. The main entanglement is that,did Confucius really have ＂3000 articles＂？ Few demonstrators can analyze it from the material cultural factors.To reunderstand Confucius＇s deletion from both material and literature factors,we know that Confucius definitely had done systematic compilation on the poems,but didn＇t do substantial deletion.This question reveals that we should always remind ourselves of the material and cultural factors in reading and studying the ancient books and records,so as to avoid possible mistakes such as comments on the past from the current view.
