《读书分年日程》在元代引发的质疑与论辩

Query and Debate on Dushu fennian richeng(The Graded Everyday Schedule of Studying)in the Yuan Dynasty

程端礼《读书分年日程》在元代得到官方认可,国子监和中书省相继申令地方学校以之为教学范式。从现存资料看,自该书问世,元明清人对此书的评价以正面为主。其实,细品时人文字可发现,该书在元代也引起一些人的质疑,时人对之也有一些微辞。注目于这些非议与就此引发的论辩,可以更客观地看待此书在元代教育中发挥的作用,也可以看到当时的学风、文化趋向与价值取向。

Dushu fennian richeng(The Graded Everyday Schedule of Studying)written by Cheng Duanli(程端礼)was accredited by the Yuan(1271-1368 AD)government.The Imperial Academy(Guozijian)and the Central Secretariat(Zhongshu Sheng)ordered in turn local schools to take it as the teaching paradigm.According to surviving accounts,since its publication,this book was generally responded positively in the Yuan,Ming and Qing Dynasties.In fact,it is found from close reading in between the lines that it was also queried in veiled criticism in the Yuan Dynasty.A study on these criticisms and the debate caused by them gives a more objective view of the role it played in education in the Yuan Dynasty,and shows as well the learning style,cultural trend and value orientation at that time.
