北宋新学、蜀学派融合儒道的“内圣外王”概念

Integrating Confucianism and Taoism:The Concept of“Sage within and King without” by Neo-Confucianism and Sichuan School in the Northern Song Dynasty

北宋时期是"内圣外王"概念由道家用语向儒家术语演变的重要时期,其中,北宋新儒学天道性命与礼乐刑政并重的整体规划及其概念表达是内圣外王概念受到重视的根本原因。而新学、蜀学派学者以庄补儒,会通儒道,将道家的天道自然与儒家的礼乐刑政相结合,则是其较早使用"内圣外王"概念表达儒家价值理想的直接原因。新学、蜀学派的"内圣外王"概念,既有道家的内涵,也有儒家的因素,是融合儒、道的产物,在内圣外王语义的演变史上占有重要地位。
