“五”“九”思维模式在两汉时期的发展深化

The Fully Developed Thinking Mode of“Five”and“Nine”in the Han Dynasty

在中华传统文化中",五"和"九"是意味深厚的数字。本文力图探寻"五""九"数字思维模式的渊源及其思想文化内涵,着重梳理其在两汉时期的发展深化:以"五"的思维模式为基础,汉人以天子一元为核心构建了一套天、神与人之间感应相生的理论体系;以"九"的思维模式为基础,汉人以九天信仰为中心发展了一种天、神与人之间沟通转化的理念方法。在这种文化思想背景下,汉人自然而然地向往"五"之中与正"、九"之至与大。这一观念,对两汉及后世思想文化产生了深远影响。

"Five"and"nine"have significant meaning in traditional Chinese culture.This paper tries to explore the origin of thinking mode of the"five"and"nine"and its cultural connotation,focusing on combing its process of deepening in the Western and Eastern Han Dynasty.The Han people,based on the thinking mode of"five",built a theoretical system of the induction and interaction between heaven,deity and human with the unitary of the Emperor as the core;and based on the thinking mode of"nine",developed a concept of communication and transformation between heaven,deity and human,centering on the Ninth Heaven belief.With this cultural and ideological background,the Han people naturally yearned for the fairness and middle path of"five"and the perfection and greatness of"nine".This mentality has had a profound influence on the ideology and culture of the Han Dynasty and ever since.
