儒家与术数的关系及其意义

The Relationship between Confucianism and Shusu and Its Significance

儒家与术数的关系是一个有争议,也未深入研究的问题。术数与巫、方术等不同。儒家与术数的关系是多方面的。从历史上看,早期儒家与术数活动有关,汉以后术数与儒仍未脱开关系。儒学人士对待术数的态度各不相同,但多数不否定。从思想上说,术数活动所蕴含的命运天定论、命运与德性由人生之禀气所决定等思想与儒家思想有相合之处,其天人感应和心诚则灵的方法也为儒家所赞同。但儒家以德性为其旨归,正义不谋利,总体说来对以术数活动求功名富贵的做法持反对态度。在今天实现中华民族伟大复兴,以现代科学文化为主体的语境中,我们一方面要复兴弘扬中国优秀传统文化,另一方面也要防止和反对术数迷信沉渣泛起。

The relationship between Confucianism and Shusu is a controversial issue that has not been studied in depth. Shusu is different from witchcraft and alchemy. The relationship between Confucianism and Shusu is multifaceted. Historically, the early Confucianism was related to the activities of Shusu, and after the Han Dynasty Shusu was not separated from the Confucianism. Confucian scholars have different attitudes toward Shusu, but the most do not negate. From the view of ideological point, the destiny of fate, the fate and the virtue determined by the ambiguity of life in the activities of Shusu, they are in harmony with the thoughts of Confucianism. Confucian also endorsed the method of heavenly induction and sincerity can work wonders. However, Confucianism is based on virtue, justice, not careerism. In general, it opposed to the practice of seeking for fame and wealth in Shusu. In today's context of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and modern science and culture as the main body, on the one hand, we must revive and carry forward China's excellent traditional culture, and on the other hand, we must also prevent and oppose the superstition. To this end, we should make the relationship between Confucianism and Shusu clearly.
