杨慈湖对“克己复礼”的阐释及其理论意义

Yang Cihu's Explanation to “Ke- Ji- Fu- Li”and Its Theoretical Significance

在"克己复礼"诠释史上,"克去己私,复返天理"的思路虽具有典范性意义,但在宋儒杨慈湖那里遭遇了挑战。慈湖从心学的角度出发,通过赋予"克"、"己"、"礼"等概念新的内涵,提供了异于传统的颠覆性理解。慈湖对"克己复礼"的全新阐释在阳明后学那里得到了积极回应,他们对该问题的理解与慈湖有颇多契合之处。由此可见,经典文本具有开放性,通过思想家们创造性的解读,往往可以生发出新的意义。

In the history of exegesis study,the principle of'ke- ji- fu- li'was interpreted by Li School of Confucianism as 'exercise self- restrain and return to the heavenly principle. 'But this way of interpreting was challenged by Yang Cihu in South Song Dynasty. From the heart- mind perspective,Yang Cihu argued that'ke- ji'should be interpreted as 'enable oneself'and finally offered an overthrowing explanation instead of Cheng Zhu. Yang Cihu's interpretation was not noticed in his era but got active response in the dialogue of Post Yangming scholars. By analyzing the case,we can get a conclusion that the classics are open and new significance can often be developed by creative text-reading.
