民国学者谈中国精神与春秋霸政——兼论有二霸无五霸

Political Supremacy in Spring and Autumn Period and China Spirit——A Concurrent Discussion on Wang Yuhu’s Interpretation of Political Supremacy

剖析中华民族抗日战争胜利的文化基因,在于中国人的血液中流淌着中国精神。中国精神是流淌在中国人血液中的自立自强的坚强力量,是自尊自信的高尚德性,是一种至大至刚的民族精神。为庆祝抗战胜利,由王毓瑚遵循潘公展提出的编纂旨趣而执笔撰写的《管仲》一书在大量史实的基础上,通过对春秋霸政的解读,对这一命题进行了详尽地诠解,并由此得出霸政的本质在于“假借周王的名号来团结诸夏各国,凭借各国联合的力量去对抗夷狄的侵略”的结论。这一结论既详尽演绎了中国精神,又纠正了众说纷纭的五霸说,即暗中提出只有二霸而无五霸的观点。这对于我们区别霸政与霸权,对于我们消除古今学者对五霸的争执有很大帮助。

China spirit,the culture gene in the blood of Chinese people,is key to China’s victory of the anti-Japanese war.It is the strength of self-reliance,the virtue of self-esteem and confidence,and the national spirit of greatness and resolution.The proposition were detailed in Guan Zhong,written by Wang Yuhu,a scholar in the Republic of China,on the basis of a large number of historical facts through interpretation of political supremacy in Spring and Autumn period.It was concluded in the book that the nature of the then political supremacy was“to ally the states in the name of the emperor of Zhou dynasty to expel the invaders”.This conclusion is a detailed illation of China aspirit and a rectification of Five Hegemonies,implying that there were only two political supremacies.This is referential to our distinction between hegemony and political supremacy and to the resolution of the arguments among the ancient and modern scholars.
