“文王演《易》”的动机理论阐释

An Explanation of the Motivation Theory of“King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty Performed the Book of Changes”

司马迁《报任安书》有"文王演《易》"的说法,但随着时间的推移,学术界对此衍生出了诸多不同的看法,"孔子说""荀子门人说""作者不可考说",等等,让本来没有太大争议的问题聚讼纷纭。根据马斯洛的动机理论,文王姬昌完全具备"演《易》"的动机需求,并借助所演之《易》掌握了商、周斗争的政治话语权,承受上天賜命,翦除殷商,替而代之。

Sima Qian once said in A letter to Ren An that“King Wen of the Zhou dynasty performed the Book of Changes”.But with the time going on,the academia also derived many other different views“Confucian doctrines”,“doctrines of Xunzi’s disciples”,“doctrines of the unknowable authors”,and so on,which led to different arguments on issues that have not been much controversial originally.According to Maslow’s motivation theory,King Wen Ji Chang fully had the motivation to“perform the Book of Changes”.With the help of the Book of Changes he mastered the political discourse of the struggle between Shang and Zhou,and accepted the order from heaven,and destroyed and replaced the Shang Dynasty.
