The Finishing Of The Western Han Dynasty, Confucius Left And Write

The core of Chinese traditional culture is Confucianism, but if you want to study Confucianism, the first steep is to investigate Confucius sayings, which is foundation of traditional culture. Except a few new warring states unearthed documents, t Confucius sayings which have maintained today, such as the analects of Confucius were collated and edited by Western Han Scholars, what is extremely important in the course of its circulation.However, due to various reasons, especially since the 20th century by the influence of the ideological suspected after dynasty song, people can't understand clearly the background and the classification process by Western Han Scholars, They always doubt the authenticity of Confucius, and then it influent seriously the correct understanding of Confucianism.Confucius' disciples are used to record Confucius speech when Confucius was alive, which reflect explicitly in the analects of Confucius and "The School Sayings of Confucius". After Confucius death. Confucius' disciples put these remarks together, and then Confucius sayings were spread widely with the thriver of Confucianism in Warring States. Emperor Qin "burns books", the turbulence during the qin-han dynasties disrupts the normal spread of Confucius sayings. But after careful analysis on the Qin Dynasty, the status of Confucius and other factors of their own, we believe that Confucius materials were not qin shihuang emphatically burnt, striking object. The main part of Confucius sayings should be preserved widespread, These keeped materials were used better by Western Han scholars.Qin "burns books" has a bad effect on Confucianism. Revival of the Western Han culture, the government began to attach importance to literature. Mid-Western Han Dynasty, Exclusive Confucianism Reverence, Confucius status obtains the enhancement. In this context, sorting, writing messy Confucius is necessary for Western Han Scholars.KongAnGuo finish "The School Sayings of Confucius", "The book of Rites", which edited by Daide and Daisheng,were the product of this background, in which these literatures contain a large number of Confucianism. In the last few decades, with the help of the last unearned literature, Human pay attention to the value of "The School Sayings of Confucius" and "The book of Rites" edited by Daide and Daisheng. On this basis, study the collation and edition of the Western Han Dynasty have a good foundation."The School Sayings of Confucius "and" The book of Rites" wrote by Daide and Daisheng are representative of the Confucius which edited by Western Han Dynasty. Meticulous comparisons between the two, its Significance can be seen as follows:in the first, It can help us to clarify the relationship between them. Clear Circulation and edition process. They does not exist successively plagiarism ceremonies.The similar in many ways were Confucius'disciple records. In the second, it can help us profound understanding of western han dynasty scholar Confucius work. Be destroyed and early classics of ancient writing rules limit, Western Han dy scholars in finishing Confucius has certain common method, but "The School Sayings of Confucius" as a representative of the family, "The book of Rites" edited by Daide and Daisheng as the official arrangement of Confucius ceremonies, both sides have many different methods in sorting Confucius sayings.The purpose of KongAnGuo arranges "The School Sayings of Confucius" is to "conserve ancestor book,show progenitor's virtuous", so the process of sorting is objective, it can be say that the material in "The School Sayings of Confucius" are relible and unsophisticated. Compared with "The School Sayings of Confucius", Because Daide and Daisheng serve for the emperor,So the material of "The book of Rites" present the han's colour dense. Of course, with the western han dynasty scholar itself traditional values and adherence to imitate, It eliminate the possibility for "a number of forged the historical facts". So, overall, the official sort of Confucius has dual characters:materials come from the pre-qin, but it has modificated and embellished intentionaliy by an dynasty scholar.Through the contrast between "The School Sayings of Confucius" and "The book of Rites" edited by Daide and Daisheng, we can fully grasp the arrangment and collation by Western H Scholars. First, western scholars consolidation by Confucius said at yishan constraints of the objective situation, therefore, to treat Western Han scholar, we should give them more sympathy and understanding; Secondly, The sorting methods and the principle is different, only we know this difference, various kinds of Confucius which recorded in books can effectively applied.
