唐宋之际《论语》诠释转型的动因及特点

The Motives for and the Characteristics of the Transition in Annotation for The Analects of Confucius in the Tang and Song Dynasties

中唐以降至北宋时期,是中国封建社会向后期发展的过渡和转折时期,中国传统经学和儒学也出现了转型发展。这一时期,《论语》诠释也实现了转型。学者们一方面对《论语》版本传抄和文字正误等问题提出质疑,甚至有勘校和修改;另一方面又表现出强烈的尊崇倾向。从历史的角度考察,学者们怀疑甚至勘校《论语》,是希望廓清《论语》在流传过程中可能出现的讹误,以冀通过调整经籍,恢复《论语》及孔子思想的原始面貌,从中寻绎指导现实社会变革的思想武器,疑改的终极目的是尊崇。

From the middle Tang Dynasty to the Northern Song Dynasty, Chinese feudal society wit- nessed a transition and turning point toward the late development. The study of Chinese classics and Confu- cian philosophy also underwent a transitional development. Meanwhile, The Analects annotation also wit- nessed a transformation. Scholars questioned the errors in the private copies of The Analects and even made collations and amendments, while they also demonstrated strong reverence for the book. From the historical perspective, their questions and collations were generated from their hope of clearing away every possible er- ror in the book, finding ideological weapons for the social changes by correcting Confucian classics and re- storing The Analects and Confucianism. The ultimate goal of questioning and amending is to worship.
