闽学序说

A Prologue for the Min School

闽学是指以定居于闽中的朱熹为首包括其门人在内的南宋朱子学派的思想,以及其后福建理学家的思想。闽学是与其他地域性学派并称的,集濂、洛、关诸地域性学派之大成。闽学不是历史上的一般闽中之学,是与中国古代社会后期理学思潮相关联、共始终,是其核心部分。朱熹之前的游酢、杨时、罗从彦、李侗等的道南学是"前闽学",没有道南学就没有闽学。闽学的重大特点和优点是著述的义理诠释与事迹的考察辨析并行,朱熹所到之处是"过化处","走朱子之路"就能提升道德意识。以传统方式研究闽学已趋向饱和,研究成果缺乏可读性和普及性,作者群即读者群,扼杀了闽学的生机及其"治心"的文化价值。要开辟出闽学研究的新境界,把其成熟心智、健全人格和安身立命之学的内在本质阐发出来,为当今精神文明建设、构建和谐社会作出贡献。

The Min school refers to the thoughts of the school of Zhu Zi and his disciples residing in the middle of Fujian in the Southern Song Dynasty and the thoughts of Fujian's neo-Confucianists later on. The Min school is thus named together with other regional schools,a collection of regional schools of Lian,Luo and Guan. Other than an ordinary mid-Fujian school in the history,it is always correlated with the trend of neo-Confucianism in the later period of ancient Chinese society,which has formed its core foundation. The Dao Nan school of You Zuo,Yang Shi,Luo Congyan or Li Tong prior to Zhu Xi is a sort of 'pre-Min school',if without Dao Nan school,there would be no Min school. The major features and advantages of Min school are that the interpretation of moral principles in the scholarly works is in parallel with the examination and discrimination of moral deeds. Zhu Xi educated and civilized the populace wherever he went. He who 'follows Zhu Xi's footprints'can raise his moral awareness. Since researches on Min school are jam-packed in conventional ways,the research results lack readability and popularity,and the authors are just the readers,which has strangled the cultural value of 'learning of cultivating the mind'in Min school.Therefore,we should open up a new boundary for Min school studies,elucidate the inner nature of a mature mind,healthy personality and settlement of life,make them become a major resource for'building Fujian into a culturally strong province'and make contributions to the construction of spiritual civilization and the construction of a harmonious society.
