汉代春秋学视野下的“西狩获麟”

“Kirin Captured in a Hunting Tour to the West”:Under the Perspective of Studies of Chunqiu in the Han Dynasty

“西狩获麟”是春秋学中的重要问题,汉代学者依据不同家法,作出了不同解释。公羊学者通过五德终始学说将获麟解释为汉朝受命的祥瑞,左氏学者则提出了“修母致子”学说,试图说明汉制与《春秋》之间的关系。将刘邦建汉与孔子作《春秋》联系在一起,是汉代春秋学的一大特色,从中可以窥见春秋学者的政治倾向。

As a significant issue in the studies of Chunqiu^Kirin captured in a hunting tour to the west was interpreted in many different ways by scholars in the Han dynasty.By applying the theory of the Five Virtues,scholars of Gongyang(公羊)saw the kirin as a sign of Han's legitimate reign.Whereas9 vscholars of Zuozhuan(左传)managed to connect Chunqiu with Han's institutional system by the theory of Xiu mu Zhi zi(修母致子).One of the great features of studies in the Han dynasty is to forge a special bond between Confucius writing Chunqiu and Liu Bang(刘邦)establishing Han,which gives us a glimpse of the political tendencies of the Chunqiu scholars.
