经学是以五经为元典阐发常道的学说

The Classics is A Theory Discussing How to Interpret the Five Confucian Classics as Eternal Dao

五经是经学的元典,经学的其他典籍都是训解或依附五经而成,经学全部的注疏以至整个中国文化都以五经为根荄;元典为五决定了经学不是一经独尊,而是具有包容性、开放性的学说,经学也因此而能够实现日新不已的自我创新。经学典籍虽众,但核心只有一个,就是围绕人而立论,为人提供人之为人的价值观,这在古人那里称之为常道。所以经学是阐释常道之学说,五经元典具有天经地义的法典性质与地位。中华文化绵延数千年而不绝,古代中华民族精神之魂的铸造,都是经学常道熏陶的结果。

The Five Confucian Classics are the primary classics of Confucian classicism;the other Confucian classics are all based on them,and they are the foundation of all classical commentary and of Chinese culture.That there are five primary classics makes Confucian theory both open and all-embracing,and the Confucian classics capable of constant renovation.There are many Confucian classics,but as to the question of how to be a man,there is only one core value system,which the ancients named the“Eternal Dao.”As the theory of the Eternal Dao,Confucian classicism is the perfectly justified interpretation of the Five Confucian Classics.The transmission and continuation of Chinese culture and of the Chinese national spirit is edified by Confucian classicism.
