The Research On The Completion Time Of The Relevant Chapters In "Guan Zi" With The Unearthed Materials

The book "Guan Zi" was sorted and edited by Liu Xiang,and only eighty-six articles survived.The book system is vast and complex,involving philosophy,economics,political science,military science,management,sociology,natural sciences and many other fields.It is an important classic for studying the ideology and culture of the pre-Qin philosophers of Qi.However,the writing date of "Guan Zi" has always been a very complicated and controversial issue.The academic circles have different opinions and insist on their own opinions.This article takes the unearthed materials as the center and takes the existing "Guanzi" as the blueprint and backing.The two are connected and comparatively analyzed,and the formation process of the relevant chapters of "Guanzi" is researched,in order to understand the time when the relevant chapters of "Guanzi" were written.The full text is divided into five chapters:The first chapter combs the specific language and characters related to Guanzi in "Yinqueshan Han Tomb Bamboo Slips",and conducts comparative analysis from the perspectives of text composition,language structure and system logic.It was discovered that the "Yinqueshan Han Tomb Bamboo Slips·Wang Bing" was formed by extracting documents such as "Guanzi·Shenyu",and then based on the burial time of Yinqueshan Han Tomb,the formation time of "Guanzi·Shenyu" and other articles were analyzed It was earlier than the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty,that is,earlier than 140 BC,and later than the mid-Warring States period.The second chapter compares the similarities and differences between the records of the same historical events in "Mawangdui Han Tomb" and "Guan Zi",and judges that "Guan Zi·Da Kuang" was formed earlier than the silk book "Chun Qiu Shi Yu".Furthermore,based on the silk book "Chun Qiu Shi Yu" copied earlier than the end of the Qin Dynasty,it is inferred that the "Guan Zi·Dakuang" chapter was formed earlier than the end of the Qin Dynasty.The third chapter examines the solar eclipse phenomenon related to "Guanzi" in the Shanghai Museum’s bamboo slips,the advice of Bao Shuya and Xi Peng,as well as the troubles of easy teeth and erection,and summarizes the brief essays and articles of the Shanghai Museum’s "Spring and Autumn Shiyu" The descriptions of the solar eclipse in "Guanzi·Four Seasons" and others are the same in Bao Xi’s remonstrance,which should be documents formed in the same period,revealing "Guanzi·Four Times","Guanzi·Jie","Guanzi·Ba Xing" The four articles of "Guanzi·Small Name" were formed in the middle of the Warring States Period.The fourth chapter mainly uses Tsinghua bamboo slips "Xian Nian" to identify the phenomenon in "Guan Zi·Light Heavy Jia" that "the country under heaven is stronger than Yue"appeared in the period 441-404 BC,so "Guan Zi· The formation of "Light and Heavy Jia" was not earlier than 404 BC.It also proves that the "Taiyi Mountain" Qi Great Wall described in"Guan Zhong·Qing Chong Ding" was built in 350 BC,which proves that the formation of "Guan Zhong · Qing Chong Ding" was not earlier than 350 BC.The fifth chapter uses archaeological discoveries and the distribution of archaeological remains,focusing on the three aspects of agricultural remains,salt discoveries and unearthed currency,to investigate the writing date of relevant chapters in Guanzi.According to the remains of agricultural archaeology,the large-scale production and use of iron farm tools in"Guanzi·Haiwang" occurred in the middle of the Warring States period;according to the archaeological findings of the salt industry,it was proved that the current situation of salt production in Qi State described in "Guanzi·Dishu" and other articles belonged to During the Warring States period;according to the distribution and age of the currency unearthed in Qi,it was judged that the currency usage described in "Guanzi · Guoxu" was not earlier than the beginning of the Warring States period,so the textual research found "Guanzi·Haiwang","Guanzi·Kudu" and " The articles of Guanzi·Guoxu were formed no earlier than the beginning of the Warring States Period.
