论东汉末年传统才性观的危机

Crisis of Traditional Ideas about Ability&Morality at the End of East-Han Dynasty

才性问题作为汉末探寻理想人物素质标准的公众话题,历史渊源久远。它在汉武帝时期因董仲舒人性论对政治人物的设想而深化,并因汉末士大夫、太学生反对外戚宦官专权的社会冲突体现了传统才性观的危机而诱生对传统才性观与现实矛盾的理论思考,使政治问题上升为思想界中的哲学问题。才性问题在作为政治问题的表象背后,蕴含了思想文化的深层意义。

The issue of ability and morality can be dated back to long ago as a public one to search for the quality criteria of idea person. During the period of HanWu Emperor, the issue was deepened by Dongzhongshu's ideas about politicians with the theory of humanity. At the end of Han Dynasty, Literati and officialdom and scholars objected to the grab of the empress'relatives and ennuches, which reflected the crisis of traditional ideas about ability and morality. Thus people began to think theoritically about the contradictions between the traditional ideas about ability and morality and the reality. In a word, the issue of ability and morality contains deep meanings of ideology and culture, hidden behind politics.
