《论语·先进篇》“侍坐”章校释辨正

《论语·先进篇》“侍坐”章校勘有“毋”“无”、“以”“已”、“归”“馈”之分歧，但均前者为是。“毋吾以”即“毋吾以居”，指不要像我一样（或与我一起）闲居在家。“方”指法度、准则。“哂”指笑，但此笑同于“吾长见笑于大方之家”句（《庄子·秋水》）中的笑。“撰”作“馔”，“馔读日诠”，诠指“善言”（积极进取的话语）。“沂乎浴”指“岁时祓除畔浴”。“风乎舞雩”指唱吁嗟雩祭（舞雩是雩坛之专名）。“咏而归”指咏唱《诗经·噫嘻》而归。“吾与点”一语，即流露了孔子无可奈何的感伤，也委婉地表达了自己对曾哲的批评。

Interpretation and Discrimination of Section Sitting with the Master, Chapter Eleven,The Analects of Confucius

On emending the section of＂ Sitting with the Master＂, Chapter 11, The Analects of Confucius, variant forms of the same Chinese character are to be found, such as ＂Wu＂ （） and ＂Wu＂ （无） ; ＂Yi＂ （ 以 ） and ＂Yi＂ （已 ） ; ＂Gui＂ （ 归 ） and ＂kui ＂（馈）, but with the former in each pair as the standard form. Consequently, ＂Wu Wu Yi＂（母无已 ）, namely ＂wu wu yi ju＂（母无已居）, means that ＂One should not stay at home like （ or： with） me. ＂ And ＂Fang＂ （方） refers to criteria and/or principles, whereas ＂Shen＂ （ 哂 ）, laughing at. This ＂laughing at＂, however, is the same with ＂Wu chang jian xiao yu da fang zhi jia＂ （Autumn Waters, see Zhuang Zi）. ＂ Zuan＂ （撰）is written as Quan （撰）, meaning that a person is good at talking ＂Yi hu yu （沂乎浴） means sui shi fu chu pan yu＂（ 岁时祓除畔浴） ,while ＂Feng hu wu yu＂ （风乎舞雩） means that one dances in ＂Yu tan＂（ ＂Wu yu＂ being the proper noun for ＂Wu tan＂）. In addition, ＂Yong er gui＂ （ 泳而归 ） means that one sings ＂Yi Xi＂ in The Book of Songs, whereas ＂Wu yu dian＂ （ 吾与点） reveals Confucius＇ sadness and hopelessness, and euphemistically expresses his criticism for Zeng Dian.
