| As one of the Yi Zhuan,Wenyan focuses on explaining the meaning of the Qian and Kun,and is one of the chapters in which Confucian thought is closely integrated with the Zhouyi.The relevant issues of Wenyan are discussed through literature research,text analysis,comparative research and other methods.First of all,the transformation of the research problems of the "Wenyan" from "righteousness" to "falsification" is sorted out.From the records of the Wenyan in the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties to the Song Dynasty,Ouyang Xiu began to suspect that the Wenyan was not written by Confucius,through the examination of Yang Jian of the Song Dynasty,Ji Ben of the Ming Dynasty,Yao Jiheng of the Qing Dynasty,Cui Shu,Dai Zhen,Li Rongxi,Ye Peisun,Yu Fan,Yang Yisun,Pi Xirui,Chen Qitong,Liao Pingping scholars,and scholars such as Gu Jiegang,Qian Xuantong,and Qian Mu in the ancient history debate period.Second,the written issues and ideological attribution of the "Wenyan" are examined.By discussing the relationship between the Zhouyi and Confucianism in the pre-Qin period,combined with the relevant records of other pre-Qin classics and excavated documents,it is determined that the Zhouyi and the Wenyan are inseparable from Confucianism;the problem arguments raised by scholars who oppose the relationship between Confucius and the Wenyan are discussed to affirm the close relationship between the Wenyan and Confucius;the production of the Wenyan is examined to determine the meaning of the "Wenyan","Wen" is a moral concept formed by imitating the heavens and the earth,and then the "Wenyan" is the argument about all this.According to the source of the "Wenyan" material,it is believed that the time of the "Wenyan" should be in the early Warring States period,and furthermore,it should be before and after Zisi.Exploring the ideas of the "Wenyan",we summarized the ideological content of the remarkable Confucian characteristics such as "benevolence","no boredom in the world","rhetorical sincerity","seeking the same","time in the middle",and "gentleman".Again,discussing the gentleman’s thought in the Wenyan.First of all,the change in the relationship between "virtue" and "position" in the connotation of "gentleman" is clarified,and the "gentleman" in the "Wenyan" only refers to the ideal personality of Confucian morality.The gentleman’s thought of "Wen Yan" is the combination of the natural factors of "Qian" and "Kun" with social responsibility,and the emphasis is on promoting "Wende".Secondly,the connotation and spiritual characteristics of a gentleman are discussed from three aspects: gentleman’s temperament and self-cultivation,gentleman’s morality and etiquette,gentleman’s responsibility and home country.The relationship between "feeling" and "nature" in the "Wenyan" is mutually explicit," feeling " takes " nature " as the internal principle," nature " takes " feeling " as the form of expression,and gentleman self-cultivation is to cultivate " nature " and " feeling ".In the "Wenyan",the gentleman takes "benevolence" as the core of morality,"etiquette" as the external form of expression,and follows the self-cultivation principles of "good world without cutting","right position and enterprising","obedience".The "Wenyan" closely integrates the gentleman with the responsibility of the family and the country,and expresses it as a political concept in four aspects: "unremitting self-improvement," "sense of distress," "shangxian and close to the people," and "harmony and datong." Finally,the Wenyan proposes that the path of a gentleman’s behavior is to treat things with kindness,to act with virtue,and to open things into business.The "Wenyan" takes "benevolence" as the body as the root of the gentleman’s self-cultivation;takes "becoming virtuous as the action" as the basis for the gentleman’s cultivation;and takes "opening up things and becoming a business" as the goal of the gentleman’s self-cultivation.Finally,the literary significance of the "Wenyan" is analyzed.First of all,the literary characteristics of "Wenyan" are summarized.First,in terms of sentence form,the combination of scattering and rhyme is used.The sentence pattern of "Wenyan" is flexibly converted between "Wenyan",and the "Wenyan" sentence is not deliberately done by the author,and there are some prose sentences interspersed with them.Moreover,the sentences rhyme with the beauty of rhythm,and they are catchy to read.Second,in terms of language,the argument is justified and the rhetoric is expressed.The "Wenyan" uses elegant words to express the exact truth of things,does not pursue "novelty",and achieves the mutual use of "body" and "micro-words","correct speech" and "essence".Third,in the expression of the use of comparison,duality,symbolism,contrast and other rhetoric,the language is concise.Then,the literary view embodied in the "Wenyan" thought is analyzed and summarized.The first is to "rhetorically establish sincerity" in the tendency of literary creation."Sincerity" is the purpose of "rhetoric",and "rhetoric" should be "faith" and "sincerity".The so-called "faith" is to be true and can truthfully reflect objective things;"sincere" is to be careful in wording and to be able to grasp the measure of the language.Second,literary aesthetic requirements are "neutralized".This is mainly manifested in the harmony of "feelings" and "reason",the harmony between man and heaven and earth,and the harmony between inside and outside the article.The third is the "harmony of heaven and man" in the function of literature and society.This is to pay attention to the practical significance of literary creation,to be able to actively explore the principles of humanities,and then to take care of society truthfully. |
