汉代儒学的神学色彩

The Theological Aspect of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty

儒学在汉代与政治权力相结合,逐渐扩张其政治影响。有的儒学学者刻意迎合当权者的需要,将儒学改装为带有政治神学色彩的学派。后来"儒教"说法的出现,也与汉代儒学神学化色彩的浓重有关。汉代儒学文献中还可以看到反映民间巫术影响的痕迹,也值得研究者注意。

Confucianism in the Han Dynasty was combined with political power and gradually expanded its political influence on different fields. Some Confucian scholars sedulously catered to the needs of the rulers, so repacked it into a school with political theological connotation. The later emergence of the term 'Confucianism (as a religion)' has something to do with the theologization of Confucianism. We can even read some shreds of folk witchcraft from the historical documents of the Han Dynasty, which are worthy of being noticed by researchers.
