关于经学存废问题的若干思考

On the Existence and Abolition of Confucian Classics and Related Problems

经学存废问题是20世纪以来中国学术界久讼不决的难题,也是当下中国亟须面对的一大问题。本文首先以汉代儒家经学历史作为主要研究对象,又对历史演变中在崇圣尊经背景下的经学历史进行宏观的审察,追溯源流,明其得失,最后对百余年来经学在中国大陆缺席的现象简要加以分析总结,并结合现实问题加以思考,提出在新的历史时代中,经学独尊可以被废弃,但经学传统不可以被终结,也是不可能被彻底终结的;而在未来复兴儒学的进程中,必须从时代发展需要出发,切勿盲目复古和过度崇拜,更不能操之过急,必须尽可能让儒学研究和发扬朝着科学合理的方向,朝着人类共同的方向发展。

Since the 20 th century,the issue of the existence or abolition of Confucian classics has been a long-standing problem in China,and it is also a big problem that the mainland of China urgently needs to face.This paper takes the history of Confucian classics in Han Dynasty as the main research object,and makes an overall examination of the history of Confucian classics under the background of worshiping saints and respecting classics by tracing back to its origin,and demonstrating its gains and losses.Finally,with a brief analysis of the phenomenon of the absence of Confucian classics in the mainland of China in recent 100 years,it puts forward that in the new era,we should not blindly return to the ancient studies with an excessive worship.Instead,we must try our best to make the research meet the needs of the era and promote the the study of Confucianism towards a scientific and reasonable direction,towards the direction of common development of mankind.
