| The excavation of Bamboo book of the Chu tomb in Jingmen, Hubei Province, in 1993, makes the cultural divide nearly a hundred years between the death of Confucius and the emergence of Mencius connected. Among them, fourteen bamboo strips are attributed to Confucian literature. According to scholars' research , they basically belong to Zisi and his school, which was named Zisizi before. In accordance with the advice of Mr. Li, Zi Ti, Wu Xing, Xing Zi Ming Chu, Liu De, Cheng Zhi Wen Zhi, Zun De Ti and Lumugong Wen Zisi which belong to Bamboo book of the Chu tomb, as well as Zhong Yong, Fang Ji and Biao Ji which belong to Li Ji, are put into my research perspective. In the field of ideas, Zisi explorated deeply in the theory of Xin and Xing. Using the popular and magic natural Wu Xing thoght, he buildt Moral Wu Xing thought. Heriting the Dotrine of Mean, he bulit the thought of Sincerely. Besides these, he proposed the rule of virtue which are componented by Renyi. In the field of language arts, Zisizi is skillful in reasoning, full of philosophy, tightly logic, and stress on rhetoric. It is rich and exact in vocabulary, and the language style is main in solemnity and elegant. The skillful use of contrast rhetoric make the article neatly and simply. Parallelism and repeat momentum make exposition full of momentum and emotion. Anadiplosis makes exposition tightly and compactly, and make the central interlocking like a circle. Moreover, Zisizi henrits traditional quoting poetry, which makes the old language distribuilt new life. So, whether in height of thought, or in the richness of language arts, Zisizi can be comparable with other poetries at that time, and it cannot be forgot in the poetry history of Pre-Qin dynasty. |
