A Research On Confucian Thought In The Pre-Qin Period Bamboo Slips In Shanghai Museum

This is a real spiritual awakening age during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period. In the influence of the humanism thought in pre-Qin Period, the Confucian scholar represented by Confucius is a leader in the era of ideological circle. Through the research of Bamboo Slips in Shanghai Museum, we find that there are four propositions in the Confucianism include poetics, politics, anthroposophy and view of history.When Confucius discusses poetry, his choice standard is courtesy. The purpose of “Yi Se Yu Yu Li” is the summary of Confucius poetry theory in the Bamboo Slips “Kong Zi Shi Lun”. For example, the sentence “Que Chao Zhi Gui” talks about Confucius’ s marriage concept. It shows that marriage should be within the framework of the courtesy, only the standard marriage can reach the stage of happiness. The sentence “Da Tian Zhi Zu Zhang, Zhi Yan Er You Li” shows Confucius’ s affirmation of agricultural sacrifice. The sentence “Qiang Zhong Zhi Yan, Bu Ke Bu Wei Ye” shows the old story “Zheng Bo Ke Duan”, and it reveals that Confucius calls on the maintenance of the traditional concept of filial piety. The sentence “Lv Yi Zhi Si” expresses the love for the country, these national concept is praised especially by Confucius. The sentence “Xiao Bian, Qiao Yan, Ze Yan Chan Ren Zhi Hai Ye” shows his royalism. The focus of criticism of Confucius is the harm speech rather than the criticism of the king. The sentence “Yue Wu Yin Qing” sums up Confucius’ s musical ideas, and it interprets the music is the embodiment of the true feelings, but also the release of the personality spirit.“Wei Zheng Yi De” is core content of Confucius political thought. In the Bamboo Slips “Yan Yuan Wen Yu Kong Zi”, Confucius puts three political measures including penalty abatement, talent selecting and people policy which reflect his political views. These moral concept of Confucius has been coming from his high alert to the social crisis, from his deep thinking on the heart, from his deep concern for the people. Compared with the godism and despotism of violent, not only his thought is undoubtedly a great historical progress in the process of the development, but also it has promoted the evolution of political civilization. As the foundation of ancient political theory, It has a huge positive effect in history.The discussion about human nature is also the content of the pre-Qin Confucian thought. Early Confucian scholar inherit the thought of “benevolence” and “ceremony”, at the same time, they are also exploring the inner essence of human nature. The writer of the Bamboo Slips “Xing Qing Lun” found a ideological framework as “Tian-Ming-Xing-Qing-Dao”. On the one hand, it explains the innate nature of human nature and the guiding role of the "spirit of the heart" to "nature". On the other hand, they make full attention to the objective meaning of "love", emphasize "Xing Qing Bu Li" and the eternal truth, showing a warm passion feeling.During the Warring States Period, history and philosophers’ theory has began to develop together. Rewriting history has become a popular trend. The Bamboo Slips “Cheng Wang Ji Bang” is an excellent example. By adding to the plot, the writer enlarges the character of the characters, and captures the ancient history of the shadow, with the integration of modern life. By recompilation of ancient history, the purpose of the writer is to create in the minds of the ancient history of the Warring States Period. In addition, history compilation is largely due to the reality of the hardship consciousness, which the purpose is to correct the current mistake. Objectively speaking, "warning" consciousness exists the positive and negative effect. Review the "warning" consciousness of the gain and loss, is the correct understanding of ancient history should pay attention to the content.
