百年来中国礼教思想研究综述与展望

A centenary review and the outlook of Chinese ritualism

“五四”以来,学术界针对儒家礼教的探讨和研究,产生了不少学术成果。通过对多元定义和内涵、不同价值取向、两种书写范式影响下的礼教研究的梳理,可以总结出中国礼教思想研究仍待深入开拓的空间:就研究的取向而言,亟需对礼教思想进行正本清源的研究,加强礼教与礼制、礼治的综合研究;在研究方法上,须改变过去对立的斗争思想史研究范式,应对礼教进行多维度、多学科的综合研究;在研究内容上,需要探讨帝王、士人、普通民众等不同阶层的礼教思想和礼仪革新,需要结合“六经皆礼皆教”的思想来开拓礼教的研究领域;在研究视野上,既要对中外学者关心的礼教思想前沿问题做出更好更适当的回应,也要从礼乐文明综合体发展的内在理路重新梳理中国礼教思想史。

Since the May Fourth Movement,the academia has produced abundant representative research findings in the exploration of Confucian ritualism.Through a review of the study of ritualism under the influence of multiple definitions and connotations,different values,and two writing paradigms,the paper concludes that there is still room for further study of Chinese ritualism.There is an urgent need to replace criticism and denial with seeking to clarify the origin of Chinese ritualism.Meanwhile,it is important toreplace the paradigm of confrontation with multidimensional and multidisciplinary study of ritualism.In terms of research content,it is necessary to explore the thought and innovation of different classes,such as emperors,scholars and common people,and to expand the research field of ritualism by introducing the idea that“all rituals are taught in the Six Classics”.In terms of the scope of research,it is necessary not only to address the cutting-edge issues of interest to Chinese and foreign scholars,but also to reorganize the history of Chinese ritual thought based on therationale of the development of the ritual civilization.
