荀子经典诠释的实践性品格——从荀子用《诗》说起

摘要

荀子是儒学发展史上一个里程碑式的人物,对儒家经学的发展做出了突出的贡献。他的著作《荀子》不仅大量征引《诗》等儒家经典,在征引及诠释过程中将儒家的实用精神投射进去,这使得他的经典诠释活动渗透着强烈的实践性品格。他在用《诗》时所提出的＂隆礼义而杀《诗》、《书》＂及＂为其人以处之＂的观点,是对其道德实践与经世致用实践性品格的最好注脚。%Xunzi is an extremely important figure in the system of the Confucian school.His own propo-sal not only quoted from Confucian classics,such as The Book of Songs,but also projected Confucian practical spirit.So his classic hermeneutics embodies a strong practical character.Under the guidance of it,he put forward the theory of "exalting ritual and moral principles,and attaching less importance to The Book of Songs" and "following the example of virtuous mentors in the daily life".
