汉武帝的通经致用观及对汉代经学的影响

Emperor Han Wudi’s Perspective on Comprehensive Understanding and Practical Application of the Classics and Its Influence on Han Dynasty Confucian Studies

汉代通经致用经学观的形成与汉武帝的提倡与实践有关。他要求大臣“以《春秋》对”,要求对策者“取之于术”,即提倡通经致用。他强调以经决事,如他以经决狱,在人事任免、战争、礼乐活动、治河等方面依据经义而行;他还注重官员通经致用的能力。武帝对通经致用经学观的提倡与实践,得到两汉君臣的响应,最终成为汉代经学之特色。

The concept of comprehensive understanding and practical application of Confucian classics during the Han dynasty is closely related to Emperor Han Wudi’s advocacy and practice.He demanded his ministers to use the Spring and Autumn Annals for references and required those when formulating strategies to draw from“Shu(techniques)”,thereby promoting the perspective of thorough understanding and practical application of the classics.He emphasized decision-making based on the classics,as evidenced by his reliance on the classics for judicial decisions.Additionally,in matters like personnel appointments and removals,warfare,ceremonial music activities,and river management,he often acted in accordance with the teachings of the classics.He also valued the ability of officials to understand and apply the classics in practice.Emperor Han Wudi’s advocacy and practice of this perspective resonated with the rulers and officials of the Two Han Dynasties,ultimately characterizing the distinctive feature of Confucian studies during the Han era.
