朱子论《程传》之失

Zhu Xi's Comments on the Faults of Cheng Yi's Commentary of the Book of Zhouyi

朱子在理学上推尊程颐,但在《周易》经学的理解上却独辟蹊径,对伊川颇有微词。朱子视“易本卜筮之书”之说为《易》之“本义”,并提出只以“易本卜筮之书”为前提,才能恰当地理解《周易》,由此彰显了卜筮和象数在《周易》经学中的重要意义。而若不以“易本卜筮之书”为出发点,即或说理完备如伊川,也必将偏离和失去易之本义。从强调本义的《周易》经学观出发,朱子探讨了程颐易学之得失。

Despite his succeeding Cheng Yi's Neo-Confucianism,Zhu Xi interprets the learning of the I Ching in a special way and raises an objection to Cheng accordingly.Zhu argues that the I Ching is originally a divination book and only in this way can we understand the book itself appropriately,thus highlighting the importance of bushi 卜筮 and xiangshu 象数 in the Classical Studies of Zhou Yi.Conversely,without the starting point“the I Ching is originally a divination book”,even as complete as Cheng in reasoning,one will unavoidably deviate from and miss the original meaning ofthe I Ching.From the view of emphasizing the original meaning in the Classical Studies of Zhou Yi,Zhu commented on the merits and faults of Cheng Yi'sstudies of the I Ching.
