This article discusses the debate in the late Qing Dynasty between Kang Yowei 康有為 and Su Yu 蘇輿 on the theory of “Gai-zhi 改制” which could be traced back to Dong Zhongshu 董仲舒 in the Western Han Dynasty and implies the issue of basis of culture reformation. By comparing Kang’s and Su’s explanations of the reasons that “Dao 道” is not only unchangeable but also changeable, this article responds the current discussions about the Kang’s and Su’s different perspectives on the culture transformation, and also presents a Confucian way of thinking on the compromise between culture conservation and radical abolition.

本文聚焦於叔孫通與陸賈如何在漢初之世回應儒家發展所遭遇的困境。先秦儒家政治思想中對於政治權力結構與權力正當性的部分觀點,在戰國秦漢政治體制轉換之際,出現思想理論與現實發展歧異的問題。這個問題結合戰國以來對於儒家「好古無用」、「以古亂今」的負面評價,導致儒家在秦漢之際面臨與新政權的衝突。叔孫通與陸賈故而各以不同方式面對儒家理想中之古道與現實發展之今政的歧異,或使儒術與儒者得以調適於新政體制,或使儒學得以新的角色定位,繼續為漢代政治指出應然方向,展現儒家「因世權行」的可能性,恢復並開啟了儒家在新時代的發展。
This article discusses how the Confucian scholars Shusun Tong 叔孫通 and Lu Jia 陸賈 reformed traditional Confucian discourse in an effort to resolve conflicts with early Han political authorities. In the Warring States period, there was widespread criticism of Confucian scholars’ veneration of the legendary golden age of antiquity. Moreover, both Legalist scholars and the emperors of the Qin and early Han dynasties regarded speech about the ancient sage-kings as a challenge to their authority, and as a result, they castigated Confucians for their propensity for “referring to the past to criticize the present.” In response, Shusun Tong and Lu Jia worked to reform Confucian political philosophy in terms of structure of power and legitimacy of authority respectively. Their efforts not only adapted Confucianism to the new polity but also resumed the impact of Confucianism in a new political era.

Though many studies have mentioned the various presentations of Confucius presenting in this period, this study attempts to investigate the reasons that people presented “Confucius” in different ways and the meanings of these various presentations in early China’s intellectual history. It takes three parts to state the results of this dissertation:
First, since the Warring States period, “Confucius” was not only an index sign which signified a person named Confucius, but also a symbol sign. Therefore, when people described, statement, or commented “Confucius,” what they focus on might be the meaning that “Confucius” symbolized in the historical context they were being. The meanings of “Confucius” might change with the historical context. During the Warring States period, “Confucius” symbolized an extraordinary person, who knows everything and being good at commenting on anything; in the Western Han, “Confucius” symbolized an ancient sage, who made sacred canon (the Five Classics) and left his teaching for future generations and the next dynasty.
Second, although the honorific titles, such as “sage” or “uncrowned king,” were likely due to people’s admiration, they were actually the result of people’s discussion on “Confucius.” Scholars connected the symbolic significance of “Confucius” with other concept(s), making “Confucius” involve into those issues they concerned. During the Warring States period, scholars connected “Confucius” with “sage,” for discussing if an omniscient sage could share the power of formulating policies. In the Western Han, Confucian scholars connect “Confucius” with “king” and “heaven,” for discussing if a sage of humble birth could guide the emperor(s) and the political system of Han dynasty. As a result, “Confucius” was addressed as a “sage” in the pre-Qin, and then as an “uncrowned king” in the Western Han.
Third, as acts of “saying something,” interpreting “Confucius” had different meanings and effects in different historical contexts. During the Warring States period, while scholars tended to make “Confucius” being open to interpretation, they were doing interpretive dialogue by discoursing on “Confucius.” In the Western Han, while Confucian scholars and the authorities tend to set the role of “Confucius” as an intermediary, interpreting “Confucius” became an intersubjective activity.
In summary, this dissertation examines the various and variable presentations of “Confucius” from the Warring States period to the Western Han, explains the reason of changing, and survey the train of thought in history. It presents why and how Confucius, who was not only an embodiment of Dao but also an intermediary between Dao and politics (or between scholars and the authorities), has such significant standing in Chinese history.

摘要
本文探討西漢武、昭、宣三朝尊儒政策思維的發展,並聚焦武帝的「緣飾以儒術」,如何轉出儒家思想能夠參與政治運作的宣、元之世。全文分三部分:首先以「離析儒家道、術兩面」,總挈尊儒政策最初的緣飾思維,並指出武帝以君主集權為宗旨的根本考慮。其次藉由鹽鐵會議中的孔子無用之辯,指出緣飾思維的制度化困難,如何使得儒家可能以其內在張力,反抗政策的離析。繼而,本文分析石渠閣會議的政治意義,指出宣帝如何既延續武帝政策的根本綱領,也修正緣飾思維的未盡之處,遂使儒學與君主集權政體得以嵌合。由此,本文指出:西漢的尊儒政策,雖顯得糾結周折,然其間變化並非出自個別君王的扭轉,而是在政策延續性的要求下作調整,其內在思維實皆本於秦漢新政體的君主集權綱領,脈絡相承。

This article discusses how the Confucian scholars Shusun Tong 叔孫通 and Lu Jia 陸賈 reformed traditional Confucian discourse in an effort to resolve conflicts with early Han political authorities. In the Warring States period, there was widespread criticism of Confucian scholars’ veneration of the legendary golden age of antiquity. Moreover, both Legalist scholars and the emperors of the Qin and early Han dynasties regarded speech about the ancient sage-kings as a challenge to their authority, and as a result, they castigated Confucians for their propensity for “referring to the past to criticize the present.” In response, Shusun Tong and Lu Jia worked to reform Confucian political philosophy in terms of structure of power and legitimacy of authority respectively. Their efforts not only adapted Confucianism to the new polity but also resumed the impact of Confucianism in a new political era.

Therefore, when people described, statement, or commented “Confucius,” what they focus on might be the meaning that “Confucius” symbolized in the historical context they were being.
