止于至善:朱熹的编辑审美追求

Ending the Ultimate Good:Zhu Xi’s Aesthetic Pursuit in Editing

朱熹是孔子之后集理学大成的思想家,也是继孔子编辑六经之后出现于南宋的又一儒学编辑家,一生编辑、刊刻、传播了大量儒家经典。其编辑的儒家经典对中国封建社会后期的主流意识形态影响深远。作为编辑家,朱熹将“止于至善”的编辑审美追求贯穿于其编辑活动的全过程,追求内容美和形式美的有机统一。“明道”是其选题内容美所要达到的目的,“至善”是其内容编校美追求的目标,同时在书籍形式上追求版面编排的和谐美、字体写刻的神韵美、插图形象的直观美、封面设计的雅致美。朱熹通过编辑儒家经典以书传道,最终完美地建构起集大成的理学思想体系。

Zhu Xi was a philosopher who achieved great success in Confucianism after Confucius,and also another Confucian editor who appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty after Confucius edited the Six Classics.Throughout his life,he edited,printed,and disseminated a large number of Confucian classics.The Confucian classics edited by him had a profound impact on the mainstream ideology of the later feudal society in China.As an editor,Zhu Xi pursued the aesthetic pursuit of“stopping at the utmost good”throughout the entire process of his editing activities,pursuing the organic unity of content beauty and form beauty.“Mingdao”is the goal of achieving the beauty of the selected topic content,while“Zhishan”is the goal of pursuing the beauty of content editing and proofreading.At the same time,in the form of books,it pursues the harmonious beauty of layout,the charm of font writing,the intuitive beauty of illustration images,and the elegant beauty of cover design.Zhu Xi edited Confucian classics and preached through books,ultimately constructing a comprehensive system of Neo Confucianism.
