“以心言诚”与“从心解中”——论于述胜《中庸通解》对《中庸》之“心”的发越

"Speaking Cheng with Heart"and"Interpreting Zhong through Heart":The Evolution of the"Heart"in Yu Shusheng’s The Coherent Interpretation of Zhongyong

历来解《中庸》者,或以为《中庸》不言“心”,或疏离此“心”以解《中庸》。于述胜《中庸通解》一书,创新性地论证了“独”就是《中庸》之“心”的代名词,而《中庸》“隐微见显”内蕴的“显微无间”之理正是“心”的道德活动机理,从而揭示了《中庸》“心诚则中”的蕴奥,因而也使“从心解中”得以实现。以此为基础,《中庸通解》进一步从“心”以论诚、明,阐明了“诚身”的根本在于实现心的“诚明一体”,并以“常正之情就是性、常正之心就是诚”的基本主张,深刻阐发了“性-情”关系。《中庸通解》对《中庸》之“心”的创新性揭示与发越,是对《中庸》研究的重要突破。

Those who have interpreted Zhongyong(The Doctrine of the Mean)either think that Zhongyong doesn't talk about"Heart",or alienate"Heart"to interpret Zhongyong.Yu Shusheng's book,The Coherent Interpretation of Zhongyong,innovatively demonstrates that"Du"(Solitude独)is the synonym of"Heart"of Zhongyong and the theory of"the Subtle is the Manifest"contained in"there is nothing more visible than what is secret,and nothing more manifest than what is subtle"is the moral activity mechanism of"Heart",which reveals the connotation of"the sincerity of Heart leads to Zhong"and realizes"interpreting Zhong through Heart".On this basis,The Coherent Interpretation of Zhongyong further discusses"Cheng"(Sincerity诚)and"Ming"(明)through"Heart"and clarifies that the foundation of sincerity is to realize"the unity of Cheng and Ming"of"Heart".Besides,it thinks that"the normal state of Feeling is Nature,and the normal state of Heart is Cheng",which profoundly interprets the relationship of Nature and Feeling.The innovative revelation and interpretation of"heart"of Zhongyong in The Coherent Interpretation of Zhongyong is an important breakthrough in the study of Zhongyong.
