马王堆帛书《老子》乙本卷前“古佚书”中的黄帝形象及其生成语境探析

The Analysis on the Image of the Yellow Emperor and Its Generative Context in the Ancient Lost Book Attached to the Front of Ma Wang Dui Silk Book Lao Zi B

马王堆帛书《老子》乙本卷前“古佚书”中的黄帝形象,一是以道为本,又兼具法家色彩,从老庄的“虚无”转向了黄老的“务实”;二是集国家权力于一身,表现出一统天下的封建君主化特征;三是神性彻底消失,由此前的人神合一变成了纯粹的世俗之人。该书中的黄帝形象,是战国秦汉间“百家言黄帝”这一特殊背景下的产物。在黄帝人文初祖形象发生发展的链条上,该书的贡献虽不及《史记》,但也构成了不可或缺的一环。

The Image of the Yellow Emperor in the Ancient Lost Book attached to the front of Ma Wang Dui Silk Book Lao Zi B was based on Tao and was also legalistic.The transformation about this image from“nothingness”of Lao Zhuang to“pragmatics”of Huang Lao had been accomplished.It was vested with supreme state power which showed the feudal monarchical characteristics of unif⁃ying the world and became a pure secular man and the divinity that had been in him disappeared completely.This image was the prod⁃uct of the special background of“the hundreds schools of thought on Yellow Emperor”in the period of Warring States and Qin and Han Dynasties.Although the contribution of this book is not as great as that of Shi Ji,it also constitutes an indispensable link in the chain of the development of the image of the Yellow Emperor as the humanity originator.
