谈“孔子诛少正卯”之史

Brief Discussion of Shao Zhengmao Killed by Confucius

“孔子诛少正卯”之史的真假是个有争议的话题,至今仍然没有定论。历来肯定者的论述中,存在没有完全驳回否定论的主要“依据”、没有解释史料中关于因少正卯讲学而使孔门“三盈三虚”的现象、没有正面探讨孔子所列少正卯的五大罪状等问题。笔者因孔子主张克己复礼、少正卯可能与之对立而持其为信史,并在弥补上述三方面缺陷的基础上,探讨了少正卯所讲之学的内容。

The allegation of Shao Zhengmao being killed by Confucius is debatable, which has not been concluded even by now. According to what the supporters say, there are some disputable problems. For example, the “main reason” of the sentence are not fully contradicted, Confucius’ students’ leaving for Shao’s lectures are not historically explained, Shao’s five crimes charged by Confucius are not directly discussed and etc. Motivated by the fact that Shao might stand opposite to Confucius, the author rather be certain about the truth. The paper discusses about Shao’s knowledge with making up those problems above.
