《春秋繁露》论“命”

“Ming” in Luxuriant Gems of The Spring and Autumn Annals

"命"是中国早期思想史的一个基源性词汇,是中国哲学阐释的中心。董仲舒作为汉代哲学的重要代表人物,在其《春秋繁露》中,对于"命"也给予了非常多的关注。通过对《春秋繁露》中涉及"命"的论述的梳理,我们可以很清楚地发现董仲舒哲学思想所具有的重要意义。在天命观上,董仲舒强调的是受命与符命的双向互动,从而为其政治哲学奠定基础;在性命观上,董仲舒主张的是大命与变命的统一,这为汉代以来"三命说"的源头。

"Ming" is a basic word in the early history of Chinese thoughts, and it is the focus of the interpretation of Chinese philosophy. As an important representative of the philosophy in the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu also attaches great importance to it in his Luxuriant Gems of The Spring and Autumn Annals. The exposition of "ming" in it clearly shows the important significance of his philosophical thought. In the view of destiny, Dong Zhongshu emphasizes the two-way interaction between shouming and fumingin order to lay the foundation for his political philosophy;in the view of life, he advocated the unity of daming and bianming, which is the source of the "three-ming theory"(theory of zhengming, suiming, zaoming) since the Han Dynasty.
