康有为的《春秋董氏学》

On Dong’s Thought of The Spring and Autumn Annals by Kang Youwei

董仲舒与何休是两汉最重要的《公羊》先师,随着清代公羊学复兴,却呈现出一条从何休回归董仲舒的基本脉络。尤其到了晚清的康有为那里,其所撰《春秋董氏学》一书,不仅极其推崇董仲舒,而且通过对《春秋繁露》的重新阐释,发挥出一套极具特色的公羊思想,也就是"孔子改制"以及制约君权的思想,并为其变法主张提供了理论依据。

Dong Zhongshu and He Xiu were the most important pioneers of studying Gongyang’s Commentary on The Spring and Autumn Annals in the Han Dynasty. With the revival of Gongyang studies in the Qing Dynasty, Gongyang studies showed a basic thread from He Xiu’s research methods back to Dong Zhongshu’s. Especially in the late Qing Dynasty, Kang Youwei wrote a book named Dong’s Thought of The Spring and Autumn Annals, which not only highly praised Dong Zhongshu, but also developed a set of distinctive gongyang thoughts through the reinterpretation of Chunqiu Fanglu, that is, the ideas of "Confucius reform of the the system" as well as the restriction of the monarchy, which provided a theoretical basis for his proposal of reform.
