论汉初思想流变与儒学作为主流意识形态的复兴

On the Ideological Change in the Early Han Dynasty and the Revival of Confucianism as the Mainstream Ideology

汉代是中国历史上统一的封建王朝维持时间比较长的时代,究其原因董仲舒所建构的新儒学体系成为汉代主流意识形态无疑发挥了十分重要的作用。汉代并不是一开始就选择儒学作为主流意识形态,而是经历了从推崇黄老之学到儒学与其他思想的相互作用,以及汉初儒生们的不懈努力,最终董仲舒以先秦儒学为基础吸收其他流派的思想建构了一个新的儒学体系,并推动儒学成为汉代主流意识形态。文章对此作以简要的学术思想史回顾。

The Han Dynasty is a relatively long time for the maintenance of a unified feudal dynasty in Chinese history. There are many reasons for this. The new Confucianism system constructed by Dong Zhongshu has undoubtedly played an important role in the mainstream ideology of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty did not choose Confucianism as the mainstream ideology at the beginning, but experienced the interaction between Confucianism and other thoughts from advocating the thought of Huang Lao, and the unremitting efforts of the scholars in the early Han Dynasty. Finally, Dong Zhongshu absorbed other academic schools’ thoughts based on the Pre-Qin Confucianism,constructed a new Confucianism system, and promoted Confucianism to become the mainstream ideology of the Han Dynasty. This paper makes a brief review of the history of academic thought.
