元代吴澄《礼记纂言》对《少仪》篇改编的价值与意义解析

The Value and Implications of Yüan Scholar Wu Cheng's Rcompiling of Shaoyi Chapter in Liji Zuanyan

元代礼学家吴澄的《礼记纂言》对原本《礼记》中的十九篇的内容进行了重新改编,《少仪》篇为其中之一。吴澄就其所划分的《少仪》篇的53个段落文句中的51个部分,按照一定的认识和解读进行了归类性的重新编排,从而形成了一个完全不同于原本《少仪》的篇章,其中的内在逻辑及合理性是值得分析和探讨的。通过具体的对比和分析,可以看到吴澄是在有所研究、有所解读、有所归类的基础上对原本进行调整和改编的,目的在于使该篇整体上意思合乎原来最初撰作者所写的篇章原貌,同时使研读者能够更好地理解最初经典文本的规范性意义。参考清代王夫之的《礼记章句》对《少仪》篇的分章结果,则正好可以用来验证吴澄对此篇具体段落文句剪裁的合理性。

Liji Zuanyan was written by Ritual specialist Wu Cheng of the Yüan Dynasty,among which 19 chapters from the original Liji in the Han Dynasty were recomposed,Shaoyi Chapter was one of them.Based on his recognition and interpretation,Wu Cheng categorized and reorganized 51 parts of the 53 sentences and paragraphs from Shaoyi Chapter,hence,formed a totally different text from the previous Shaoyi Chapter.It is worth exploring and analyzing its internal logic and rationality.By comparison and study,it is found that Wu re-edited and re-compiled the Shaoyi Chapter with his own study,interpretation and classification,in an effort to keep the original intentions of the author in the new text,and facilitate readers to deepen their understanding of the normative meaning of the classic.With a reference to text analysis by Wang Fuzhi,a scholar of the Qing Dynasty,in his Liji Zhangju,it is clearly verfied that Wu Cheng's modifications and recomposition of sentences and paragraphs to Shaoyi Chapter is reasonable.
