读《孔子家语》札记

《孔子家语》是研究孔子与早期儒学的宝贵材料,但由于长期以来该书“伪书”说的影响,人们对其价值仍然心存疑虑。其实,该书与包括《礼记》、《大戴礼记》在内的传世文献以及新出土文献都有相同或相通之处,细心将《家语》与之比较,不难发现它的确应该是孔子弟子记录的汇编,其基本的、主要的内容还应当是原始面貌的保留。

Notes on reading Confucius''''s Homely Talks (Kong Zi Jia Yu)

Confucius Homely Talks is a valuable material for studying Confucius and early Confucianism, but the long-standing skepticism as to the authorship of this book has checked its study. In fact, this book has things that are consistent with authentic materials including “Li Ji” and “Da Dai Li Ji” and some newly unearthed materials. Comparing “Jia Yu” with the above mentioned literature, it is not difficult to realize that it should be the compilation of notes out of the hands of Confucius' disciples, and could still be in keeping of its primitive form.
