论孙诒让的经世之学

On Sun Yirang's Practical Confucianism

清末汉学家孙诒让精于考经证子,光绪十年以后转而关注内忧外患,讲求经世致用。他弘扬家学传统,博采西学新知,阐发《周礼》的现实意义,使之成为维新理论,标志着清末古文经学的经世走向。其经、子之学和经世活动,均体现了道器并重的思想特征,折射出清末士人思维模式的转变。孙诒让基于古文经学和道器并重的经世之学,如同其经、子研究一样,在清末民初具有范式意义。

Sun Yirang,a sinologist and master of practical Confucianism in the late Qing Dynasty,started to focus on pragmaticism after the 10th year of Emperor Guangxu of Qing Dynasty due to domestic troubles and foreign invasions.He developed Rites of the Zhou into reforming theories from the perspective of reality on the basis of the traditional culture and Western learning,which marked the important movement from Confucianism to pragmaticism at the end of the Qing Dynasty.To be specific,his viewpoints of Confucianism,as well as his social activities,are both characterized by equal emphasis on Tao and Qi,indicating a thinking mode change of scholars at that time.Therefore,Sun Yirang s idea of practical Confucianism with equal emphasis on Tao and Qi is of great value during the period of late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China,just like his authoritativeness on Confucianism.
