《韩诗外传》的天道观

Tian" Thoughts of Han Shi Wai Zhuan

作为汉初儒家学者的代表人物之一的韩婴继承和发展了儒家典籍中的天人理论,构筑自己的天道观。他首先赋予“天”以意志、情感及人类道德属性,并具有无上权利,同时用大量的篇幅论证“天谴”及“祥瑞”,证明上天意志的存在。但他同时认为,人的作用也可以影响“天”的意志。把儒家的仁义道德伦理与其构建的有意志的“天”结合,为儒家的仁义礼制思想的真理性寻找“天命”依据。至董仲舒,儒学便发展成为更为精巧严密的思想体系,完成儒学的学术整合。

Han Ying was one of the Confucian representatives who constructed his own thoughts of Tian-Ren by inheriting from Confucian classics. He considered Tian to be the God controlling the fate of human being while he believed human could change his own life through his own hard work.. He found a basis for 'Tian Ming'to support the truth of virtue and morality by combining others' thoughts and his own Tian thoughts. By Dong Zhongshu's time, the Confucianism had become more sophisticated,so the combination of Confucianism was fulfilled.
