韩愈刺袁与中唐儒学复兴运动

HAN Yu as Ancient Yuan Zhou Prefect and Revival of Confucianism in the Middle Tang Dynasty

秦汉以后儒学式微而于唐宋复兴,中唐韩愈倡导古文运动崇儒排佛争儒学正统为其发轫。韩愈刺袁而著《与孟尚书书》,推尊孟子,完善并高扬道统,可以说是唐宋哲学由佛教为主向儒教为主发展总脉络中一个极富戏剧性且极具象征意义的转捩点。坚守道统,就是坚守以儒家为代表的华夏古圣贤一脉相承的以伦理道德为核心、治国平天下的思想路线。韩愈于袁州衙邸挥毫作书,卫道言志,令人感受到了一种殉道者的悲壮。这表现了唐代士人强烈的华夏历史文化主体意识。站在历史的转折点上,韩愈无可争辩地成为唐宋儒学复兴运动之先驱。袁州实可为韩愈道统思想完善守护之地。

After the Qin and Han Dynasties,Confucianism declined and revived in the Tang and Song dynasties.In the middle Tang Dynasty,Han Yu advocated the ancient prose movement,worshiping Confucianism,excluding Buddhism and fighting for Confucian orthodoxy.Han Yu's book with Mencius,written by Yuan Er,is a dramatic and symbolic turning point in the development of philosophy from Buddhism to Confucianism in Tang and Song dynasties.Sticking to the orthodoxy means sticking to the ideological line of the ancient Chinese sages represented by Confucianism,which takes ethics as the core and governs the country and the world.Han Yu wrote a book in Yuanzhou Yami,defending the way and expressing his ambition,which made people feel the tragedy of a martyr.This shows the strong Chinese historical and cultural subject consciousness of the Tang Dynasty scholars.Standing at the turning point of history,Han Yu became the forerunner of the revival of Confucianism in Tang and Song dynasties.Yuanzhou can be the perfect guardian of Han Yu's orthodoxy.
