大、小戴《礼记》文同题异篇目比较

Comparison of the Articles with the Same Contents and Different Titles in Two Versions of Book of Rites edited by Dai De and Dai Sheng

通过比较现存大、小戴《礼记》文字相近而篇题不同的篇目可知,小戴《礼记》比《大戴礼记》更为精粹、成熟,远较大戴为胜。相形之下,小戴《礼记》篇题命名更准确,题目也更贴合文章的原意,文字比《大戴礼记》更为简明,章法整齐,阐释更具有学理性和逻辑性,内容也更契合儒家学理及学说。这说明大、小戴有着不同的编辑倾向和学理思路,也侧面说明了小戴之书并非删取大戴而成。

Through the comparison of Dai and Dai Jr＇s editions of Book of Rites, one can find that Dai Jr.＇s version is more mature than Dai＇s version. In contrast, the titles in Book of Rites edited by Dai Jr. are more suitable for the original meaning of the articles. The text is also more concise and rational and the explanations are logical. That shows that Dai＇s Version and Dai Jr.＇s Version have different editing tendency and academic thought. It also proved that Dai Jr.＇s version is not an excerpt from Dai＇s version.
