《中庸》主旨新解

A New Interpretation of the Theme of Doctrine of the Mean

关于《礼记·中庸》的主旨,朱熹以为是子思论述儒家“道学”之文,学者向来遵用朱熹旧说。而实际上,《中庸》是论证君王的道德修养,其证据有汉唐学者的论断、俞樾的观点、儒家的传统、《中庸》的内证以及历来教育君王成为圣主的重要著作等方面。

In terms of the main theme of The Book of Rites:Doctrine of the Mean,Zhu Xi thought that it was an essay by Zi Si to discuss the Confucian“Dao Theories”,and scholars have always followed Zhu Xi’s old theory.In fact,Doctrine of the Mean is an argument for the kings’moral cultivation,and its evidence includes the assertions of Han and Tang dynasty scholars,Yu Yue’s views,Confucian traditions,the internal evidence of Doctrine of the Mean,and important works that have always taught kings to become holy lords.
