The Relationship between Tsunzi's Concepts of Sentiment and Ceremony and Its Contemporary Value

荀子不仅继承了孔子"仁本礼用"的学术传统和治国方略,更进一步发掘出人作为人之复杂性的"情"的范畴,通过"情"的内涵和外延对"礼"进行规范,使"礼"更加合理化。从"情"的角度,对荀子思想中的"情-礼"关系进行辨析,可以更清楚地了解荀子治国方略的内在机制和特点。

This paper studies the relation between Tsunzi's concepts of sentiment and ceremony from the perspective of sentiment in order to understand the internal mechanism and characteristics of Tsunzi'statecraft.
