王充通经致用思想新探

New Exploration of Wang Chong s Thought of Proficiency in Confucian Classics and Its Application

以往学术界多以“疾虚妄”或“实事疾妄”“疾虚妄、归实诚”来概括王充思想的特点,并对其敢于批判经典或前人旧说中谬误的精神大加赞赏,而相对忽略了王充思想学说中通经致用的基调。事实上,通经致用堪称王充思想的一大特色,体现了吴越实学和中原儒学在王充身上的交会。王充以儒学的价值理性来统摄吴越实学,又以实学的求实精神来检验中原儒学,追求儒学和实学的统一。而通经致用、实事疾妄的背后则是王充经世济民的苦心。

In the past,the academic circles mostly used“criticism of falsehood”or“seeking the truth from facts and criticizing the falsehood”,and“criticism of falsehood and return to the truth”to summarize the characteristics of Wang Chong s thought.They greatly appreciated his spirit of daring to criticize the fallacies in the classics or the old theories of his predecessors,but relatively ignored the tone of proficiency in Confucian classics and its application in Wang Chong s ideological doctrine.In fact,proficiency in Confucian classics and its application could be called a major feature of Wang Chong s thought,showing the intersection of Wuyue Real Learning and Central Plains Confucianism in Wang Chong.He used the value rationality of Confucianism to dominate Wuyue Real Learning,and tested Central Plains Confucianism with the matter-of-fact attitude of Real Learning,pursuing their unity.Behind proficiency in Confucian classics and its application,and seeking the truth from facts and criticizing the falsehood,was Wang Chong s effort to govern and benefit the people.
