论宋翔凤的“老子与孔子道同一原”说

On Song Xiangfeng's View of “Taoism and Confucianism Being of the Same Origin”

宋翔凤以《归藏》统领儒、道两家,系统提出并论证了"老子与孔子道同一原"。这个论证主要包括四个方面:其一,黄帝、老子间有《归藏》传承关系;其二,黄帝、孔子间有《归藏》传承关系;其三,"老子与孔子道同一原"即老子与孔子之道均出自《归藏》;其四,"老子与孔子道同一原"是保持差异性的"道同一原"。宋翔凤"老子与孔子道同一原"说的提出,是常州学派思想演进的必然结果,其为应对君权过大的现实而发,意在通过施加道德限制来规范君权。

According to Song Xiangfeng,Taoism and Confucianism are of the same original.He has illustrated the view from four aspects.First of all,Lao Zi has inherited Huang Di’s Gui Cang;Secondly,Confucius has also inherited Huang Di’s Gui Cang;Thirdly,“Taoism and Confucianism are of the same original”means both Lao Zi and Confucius have inherited Huang Di’s Gui Cang;Finally,the View of“Taoism and Confucianism being of the Same Origin”does not deny the difference between Taoism and Confucianism.The proposal of“Taoism and Confucianism being of the Same Origin”is the inevitable result of the evolution of the Changzhou school.By applying moral codes,Song Xiangfeng intends to restrict the expansion of monarchical power.
