古文经学与东汉士大夫政治

Old Text with Scholar-bureaucrat Politics of East Han Dynasty

士大夫政治是中国古代皇权专制体制下独特的政治文化传统。古文经学冲击了士大夫政治的礼治系统,分化了"士人"与"士大夫"群体,但同时促进了"儒生"与"文吏"结合,加速了士大夫政治的定型。古文经典丰富了儒家思想理论体系,使其摆脱了东汉时期的空疏与晦涩,更具有活力。以儒家思想为依托的士大夫政治也在这一过程中变得更加稳固。

Scholar-bureaucrat politics is a unique political-cultural tradition. The appearance of the Old Textstrikes the ritual rule of scholar-bureaucrat politics and separates scholars from scholar-bureaucrats. In themeanwhile, it accelerates the combination of “ Confucian scholars” with “ culture officials” and finalizesscholar-bureaucrat politics. The Old Text enriches the system of Confucian thoughts and makes Confucianthoughts more powerful. Scholar-bureaucrat politics also becomes more solid in this process.
