王安石《易解》与《孟子》的关系刍议

王安石推崇《孟子》 ,在他早年所作的《易解》中也多有表露。其中他对“权”、“时”、“才”、“心”等的有关论述直接继承孟子思想而有所发展。王安石这种思想又与他在政治上主张改革相一致 ,是他后来进行改革的思想理论基础。在易学上 ,王安石以孟子思想解《易》是学术新发展 ,对程颐以注《易》来阐述理学也有影响

TENTATIVE STUDY FOR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MENCIUS AND WANG AN-SHI'S YIJIE

Wang An-shi appreciated Mencius so much in his early work Yijie and one can find many of his ideas came from Mencius . Especially, his arguments about "Convenience"," Time", "Talent"and "Soul" are direct inheritence and development of Mencius's thoughts. Indeed, Wang An-shi's these arguments in Yijie act in accordance with his political proposal for reforms and function as a theoretical foundation for his later reforms. In the study of The Book of Change , Wang An-shi' s employment of Mencius's ideas to interpret The Book of Change is a new development, which has actually exerted an influence on such later scholars as Cheng Yi who applied and illustrated the theory of Li-Xue (the Learning of the Principle) in his interpretation of The Book of Change.
